Caplinger may be getting a little carried away. He doesn't decide what LMT gets to export. Congress does. We'll see. All of the partners who signed up for the JSF and paid for cost overruns won't be happy if India gets a cut-rate deal. I think Caplinger is writing JSF checks that will bounce when India tries to cash 'em.
