Never mind the fact that the Boeing bid was the actual price-winner...which the White House and Pentagon covered up initially...but were busted on.
Just like the incredibly stupid Marine One helicopter deal thrown to Britain...this was clearly all about Bush Throwing the Contract to Britain and France...

I believe this splitting thing was Murtha’s idea, he was in the tank for Boeing from the start. I can’t believe the Air Force is for splitting the contract and having two separate tankers.
This whole thing has been a huge can of worms.
