If not for the state of Washington subsidies for Boeing, Bush probably would have had a slam dunk WTO case against Airbus. Now though, I think he's set himself up as well as Boeing for massive WTO penalties. He only has himself to blame though. We should not be subject to the whims of these international bodies.

Not likely. The WTO will never rule against the EU and Airbus.

Good points. I tend to agree. AND think Boeing should pay ANY AND ALL fines!
