Even if the tanker deal goes to a foreign entity like EADS? Don't we want to keep our jobs and $$$ at home?

The BEST tanker should get the deal period.

"Keeping jobs and $$ here at home" should not be at all a factor.

Now, if there could be a problem with maintenance, replacement parts, etc, then that should be considered.
