Boeing's Bitch

After having been called on a BS offer by John McCain on the initial US military tanker-plane contract(Google "Drunyun"), Boeing is forcing a 100-day delay in execution of a contract to supply much needed new tankers the USAF. After Boeing's performance in the initial competition, it is hard to imagine that this heavily-scrutinized "competition" was improper. EADS was up against the inherent homer-advantage, and won fair and square, with a design that provides more capability than Boeing's modified 767's. It is not "competition" if one side is not allowed to win.
