In my opinion, as the F/A-22 program has been cut to around 150-170 units, the USAF have a front line fighter short fall.

The lowest number of F-22's I have seen is around 180, not as low as you quote. Besides, things are looking good for it in the senate and i'm sure there will be around 300 Raptors operational by 2012.
I disagree with your opinion, I can't see any more than 200 of these fighters either entering service, I did post a new article a while back from a LA News paper about the possible reduction to 150 units.
