Historically multiple ability fighters have fallen to
"jack of all  trades, master of none" syndrome (eg the
F-111 was going to replace every  other USAF and USN
fighter and fighter bomber). Our rather brief  history
of spaceships suggests the same: the shuttle was
meant to  replace everything, and instead doesn't do
anything particularly  well.

 
Yes, but you are not mentioning the successful mutli-role
fighter.bomber.  
The FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet. Also the F-16 Faclon performed
Fighter and  
light bombing missions. The F-14 Tomcat pefromed as both Strike Fighter
and  
Interceptor to protect the carrier and fleet.
 
I have already been toying with multiability fighter in games and even	
prosented Jon with the idea of it.Even offered it to everyone here
