But the e-mail and other documents show just how intent the Air Force
was on steering the deal to Boeing, even though Airbus' tankers were
more capable and cost less.

I personally have a problem with US military equipment being manufactured by
another nation.

Tell it to the Marines.........they're driving around Canadian built
LAVs :-)


by an american corporation. you think all US designed cars are built
in the USof A. the Chevy camaro before they were dicontinued were alll
built in Canada.

I'm sorry, but I was referring to the previous poster who objects to
things being built by other nations (like the Canadians), not who
designed them or who owns the company - otherwise we'd be into most of
the M-4/M-16A3/A4 production being by FNMI, along with the M249/M240
production also by FNMI, or the XM8 being designed from the G-36 by a
HK team working with ATK.
