WHY on Earth would Norway need the “super” bug?!
The AF might have shot themselves in the foot by waiting so long on this competition. Waiting til last week, with election year politics, and congress getting into a protectionist mood……..it is a real possibility (especialy when the Dems win the election) that this deal will be axed and the 767 foisted on the AF. They should have finished this deal last year.
In this election year political climate,,,,,all the logical arguments in the world simply will not matter. The Dems are jumping on this issue as the “Bush admins outsourcing US jobs to Europe”. It isnt true, but, hey! Its an election year! What does truth have to do with it?!
Its about time.
The politics of this are gonna be fun to see. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/03/05/221995/us-congress-to-hear-today-why-boeing-lost-kc-x-contract.html

You act as if your military actually was capable to conduct another operation. But we all know it ain’t.. Opening a third frontline would be exactly as stupid, Bush doesn’t get enough soldiers even for Iraq.
Its pretty clear you really have no idea what the US armed forces is capable of. Good. Stay ignorant of us. Fear us.
Mr Chavez is many things…..but he aint stupid. No way would he give the US the golden opportunity by invading another country.
EADS/NG had better pray Mr McCain wins in November. And they’re not happy with the contract in France either!!!! LORD! http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/newstex/AFX-0013-23460911.htm
