    let’s face it GWB is a card carrying bible bashing Baptist, he will seek any opportunity to have a go at a religion that he or his people don’t understand. This is as much about religon as terrorism and no one else in the world is fooled.

    Minor Nitpick,

    (1) The Term is “Bible Thumping” – I believe Bible Bashing is used in Australia?

    (2) Bush is Methodist, not Baptist.

    He started off as Episcopal, became Presbyterian later and then switched to Laura Bush’s denomination, the United Methodist Church.

    No, what I am trying to say is as follows: The alleged superiority of 787 vs. A350/330 is not large enough to warrant an All-Boeing Deal. $7 billion is a lot of money for a low-income country like mine.

    My dissapointment is unrelated to the Tpoic of this thread – it has to do with US military supplies to the region just a little while ago, not with the techical abilities of the 787.

    Added Later: This post is @ bring it on.

    Kabir, with due respect, it’s not just a few weeks ago that the open skies agreement was put on the negotiating table- that has been in the works for some time too. As it happens, I simply don’t care which is a ‘slightly better’ aircraft. To me, they are pretty much even. It all comes down to political weight and yes, Bribes. I am not expressing any extra-ordinary dismay (I am a tad dissapointed though) over this deal, just trying to get across, that the ‘better’ product is not what decided this sale.

    Best,
    Manu.

    This has nothing to do with the better product. It has to do with the “Open Skies” agreement signed recently and also US political bullying.

    Now, IA will have to go for Airbus.

    Good Cop – Bad Cop. :rolleyes:
