This is wrong


Why not buy fighter jets from Russia or China? If congress wants to investigate something that makes a difference drop baseball and see who got kickbacks to sell out a U.S. defense contractor! I didn't even think foreign companies could bid for defense contracts.

France!?! We probably wouldn't even be in Iraq if those dirt bags had voted for sanctions. They wanted no sanctions against Iraq since they were set to be brokers for their oil once all sanctions were gone.

If Obama promises to cancel this deal he would get my vote!!!

Isnt Boeing moving its Seatle assembly plant to Mexico in 2010 and the Jobs with it?....Northrup is building a plant in Mobile and will employ 2000 to build these tankers...Im not sure that it really matters to me that Boeing lost this contract...They also failed in the electronic fence fiasco...Boeing seems to be having some problems.

The contract to supply the tankers had initially been awarded to Boeing, but was withdrawn in 2004 over a procurement scandal that resulted in officials from Boeing and the Air Force being sent to prison.

Looks like they already did an investigation.

05-offtopic Kind of. I am watching the movie "Why We Fight". It is pretty good. I find it kind of strange that in the movie McCain doesn't seem like a hawk. I guess this is one of those movies that made Republicans upset with him. 03-wink
