wsj: lingering leviathan

leviathan, in case you have forgotten, was a sea monster. pretty good analogy for the UPA govt, that which sucks in everything around into its ugly maw.

India’s new Tejas fighter will be armed with Israel’s Derby missile. The Derby is medium-range active-radar seeker air-to-air missile, that can hit targets at about 50 km away.
