Bush may not approve all three new fighter jets

President Bush says the nation may not be able to afford all three new fighter jets the Pentagon wants. Analysts have speculated for months that one of the three aircraft could be on the budget chopping block.

The three programs are the Air Force's $62 billion F-22 fighter; the $200 billion Joint Strike Fighter fleet for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps; and the Navy's $46 billion F/A-18E&F Super Hornet fighter-bomber.
