Thank you for posting the other articles here. I am still a FReeper “newbie” and I didn’t realize that articles about this “outsourcing”/industrial-military complex version of a Monroe Doctrine violation had already been posted.
Among the consequences of this nightmare are IMHO:
1. A foreign power will get its foot into the door of our U.S. military.
2. U.S. taxpayers will be bailing out Airbus EADS (recall the insider trading scandal and how the stocks went south???) vis a vis a United States government contract.
