[Shhhh! I'm Listening to Reason!]

The politically charged contract was initially awarded in February
2008 to Northrup Grumman and EADS.

But the deal was withdrawn in July after US aerospace giant Boeing
successfully appealed the decision with backing from members of
Congress.

Why are you so vocal about small inconsequential 'points' and so
silent on the ones that really matter? This single conract will likely
swamp the $7 billion in earmarks you've been wailing, weeping and
whining about recently.

How do you feel about "bid appeals"? Do you 'think' there might be
some lobbying going on here? Do you 'think' there might be some pork/
earmarks involved here?

And what do you 'think' about Airbus getting a contract? Should we buy
European tanker planes if they outbid Boeing? Or should we "buy
American" regardless of the cost to the taxpayers?

Go ahead, 2pid: tell us what you 'think'.

LoL. Imbecile.
