He seems to think as long as they are AMERICAN companies breaking laws it is much better than European companies playing shell games with money. I like 'buy American' as much as the next guy but some people are letting bigotry and anger replace logic and market analysis.

I doubt this. And particularly from the national defense preparedness standpoint.

...but some people are letting bigotry and anger replace logic and market analysis.

And who might they be, h'mmm? The only one suddenly raising racial/ethnic issues here by implication ...would have to be you.

As for replacing logic and market analysis...with something less...the phoney free traders did that long ago when they gave the subsidies of EADS/Airbus a pass. They have no moral compass whatsoever...and no basis of disinterested neutrality or even dispassionate rationality (which clearly they lack), to argue anything.

Total whores.

Wrong. Corruption is inimical to national self-rule and liberty. Look at Mexico. The perpetrators of the Boeing corruption have been busted, and are doing time. You can't say the same of the "competition."

Is it even possible that any of the corruption which envelopes and suffuses all of EADS and Airbus deals will result in any criminal prosecutions and convictions.

I am not going to hold my breath.

As for being "Pro-American" I am not going to apologize for it.

And your "Bigotry" insinuations are beneath contempt.

American industry is vital to our national security, and cannot be outsourced without catastrophe in its wake.
