Are we still building B-2's? That article is really about Congress and the military budget.
It's wrong, though, and a little new would've made it correct. I don't put it on the average reader to know that it's talking about only current weapons. The B-2 was a pretty big deal with expense when it was revealed, too(When they were built each was worth slightly more than their weight in gold, IIRC), and there are still some questions over it's stealth capabilities.
And I know about the F-22 controversy, you don't have to throw every F-22 article you can find in 5 minutes with google at me, although the last article you quoted was well done, one of the good examples of giving both sides.
It's also interesting to note how this is an example of the war in Iraq working against military spending; it's hard to pay for cool new stuff when you're spending so much on bombs and gas.
I wasn't throwing those articles at you. The bottom line is why are we still wasting billions preparing for a war that we won 15 years ago? The fact is that any jet fighter will do when fighting against terrorists because they don't have any at all!
