I read it the first time and see no need to read it again.
There’s a lot of foreign defense companies in the US. This is nothing new. Check out BAE.
I know that lobbyist that EADS has been paying for almost 10 years. There was nothing wrong with that. Boeing on the other hand, lines to pockets of every politician that has any influence on the process.
This was the most fair and transparent process in the history of defense contracts. I am not buying for one second that was not the case. Otherwise, Boeing would have opened their mouths sooner.
Boeing wrapping themselves around the American flag is a JOKE. 70%+ of their new Dreamliner is FOREIGN.
As far as I know the Dreamliner wasn’t in the bid. The link I gave you was the full text. So you can’t say it was just the local paper spinning it.
How does Boeing line politicians pockets in a way that NG or EADS doesn’t? Legal contribuitons are just that, legal.
The week after the copntract was awarded Airbus flew the complete airplane to a hangar to begin the modification. They even put an American flag in the window so you knew how true blue it was. But if it was ready one week after the announcement how much input could NG have had in it. I would guess close to zero. Those are the high paid engineering jobs.
Nope that job was done in Europe. Guess what if they sell any to other countries 0.0% of that work will be US too. They already set up a company called Euro tanker for those sales.
Bogus. The best plane for forward deployment, the cheapest plane, the most survivable plane, the most fuel-efficient plane...loses? And they IMPUTED the ANCIENT KC-135's costs to spanking new 767s disregarding the civilian experience of costs?
I am not buying for one second that was not the case.
Why should we for "one second" find what you claim to "buy" persuasive?
I read it the first time and see no need to read it again.
Frankly, it appears dubious that you did.
