#1 They need to stop whining. The fix is in, its going to Boeing no matter how good bad ontime or late any other bids are. Nobody else should bother bidding, Boeing will reset and change the rules if they lose until they finally win it. Boeing invested well in lobbyists and congressmen.

#3 So remind me again about when the USAF said tankers to replace the -135 would be in the air.....
i think they blew their own homework assignment. (with a litle help from their in-house friends and the BMAC).
And then there is that leettle extra credit problem they also blew; its called the F-35.
( disclaimer: I am not a big fan of the armed forces flying tankerskis any more than the bloated Airbust effort)

#4 The Islamic-Muslim Representatives came on time, the Bzzantine Roman Christians came late, + the Buddhists never appeared at all > THUSLY, VIRGINA, WAS HOW MONGOL-CONTROLLED ASIA CONVERTED TO ISLAM OVERNITE. The post-GENGHIS MONGOL "GREAT KHAN" felt disrespected by the Late Arrivals + No-Shows.
