The fact people went to jail due to taking graft and the fact it was a sole source contract with no other bidders, something the libs always scream about, makes no difference? Oh wait, it’s an election year.

The Democrats will make it grow legs.

McCain's has a tough row to hoe now that President-select Osama’s backers can stay behind the curtain!!!

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, applauded the GAO recommendation and called for the air force to reopen the tanker competition.

If Obama becomes president then the Air Force won't see dollar one for any new systems, including tankers.

Poor, Poor MeCain.

I feel so sorry for him getting roughed up like he is.

Who would have thought 'Outsourcing American Jobs' would be so controversial for a Potential Presidential Nomonee?

Airbus won bidding on a project they cannot complete on time. People are smoking rock if they think Airbus will get that plant built and jets rolled out on time. Also, that design is not what the USAF needs.

"The WTO provision is inherently beyond the air force ability to judge or measure," McCain wrote in a Sept. 8, 2006, letter to Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England. "As such, it needlessly and, in my view, improperly injects into what should be a full and open competition an element of arbitrariness and capriciousness."

Competition with a subsidized state entity such as EADS is by definition not possible. You can't win.

And if the charge that they subsidized wasn't "determinable" then why was EADs in such a hurry to pull out of the competition if that was going to be addressed?

[Brilliant]

The Dems feign outrage that McCain would let EADS bid on this and possibly reduce the number of US jobs involved as well as the price, but the minute Obama is sworn in, he will cancel the contract altogether.

The Long and Short of It:

Sen. McCain’s investigation proved unethical behavior that sent some Boeing employees to jail.

That is something.

Oh, wait...Democrats don’t want to hear that, do they?

I get it.

McCain can't be faulted on this one. Boeing got a sweetheart deal at first, at huge cost to taxpayers. USAF wouldn't have even owned those tankers under the previous deal.
