This is halarious. I can tell this entire article is BS just from reading it because of a couple of points:

1) If this article was true, then they would've actually stated that the F-22 is in fact outdone all its initial goals. It is a fact that you can't deny.
2) If the F-22 is so ineffective then tell me, why can it down over 5 F-15Cs repeatedly and only losing once because of a kidding joke when a F-15 turned around a shot down a Raptor after the excercise was over and the Raptor had switched off and was getting ready to do a landing procedure.
3) Its description of the F-22's computers are in fact wrong. The F-22 has a computer that is more powerful than 2 Cray Supercomputers in it. Tell me how is that obsolete? Also did the guy that wrote this ever look at a picture of the cockpit of the F-22? He's pretty dum, I guess.
4) They tried upgrading a F-15 to gain a similar stealth capability to the F-22 (not actual performance) and the thing cost more than the F-22 and didn't even still match its performance. It shows that. Also here's an interesting thing I found out that pretty much shreds all your arguments:

"In a November 2005 long range strike mission, 4 F-22A Raptors from Langley AFB were used in conjunction with B-2A stealth bombers and F-117A stealth fighter aircraft. The goal of the exercise was to penetrate the heavily defended airspace of a simulated near-peer adversary and clear the path for the B-2s and F-117s to attack their targets. F-15Cs flew in the roles of Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30MKI aircraft and SAMs were simulated. During the nearly seven-hour mission, the unit's four Raptors, working for alternating periods with four F-22As based at Nellis AFB, Nevada, dominated the skies and enabled the strike waves to safely carry out their runs. The F-22A Raptors were able to shoot down 33 F-15Cs without the loss of a single friendly aircraft."
