Has anyone noticed the national news-as far as I can tell isn’t covering this. I watched Fox (national) for a few hours yesterday after the press conference, never once mentioned it. Neither did CBS evening news? I am wondering if only the states involved care, and if that is the case, shouldn’t we be doing something to educate the other 47 states?

nobody watches lou dobbs, i do not think, we need somebody like oreilly, i do not like him but at least he would put all the cards on the table, or my favorite neil cavuto.

I never watch Lou Dobbs, because I just don’t much care for the guy.  Does anyone else watch him and has he piped in on any of the recent news about this?

Wish we had someone that had a national platform like Dobbs and would give this story the unbiased attention it deserves.  Boeing gets an hour long commercial every time Dobbs brings up the topic.  I started to say free commercial, but I seriously doubt it is free!

bamabob, usa today is reporting>>>>>>............
and sided with Boeing, saying last month that the Air Force had made “a number of significant errors” that may have swayed the bidding.

Among other findings, the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, said the Air Force “improperly increased” some of Boeing’s estimated engineering costs and “conducted misleading and unequal discussions with Boeing” on a key aircraft performance measure.

we meed a major media blitz telling the truth, boeing was to stupid to bid.

Our team needs to go on the offensive and point out Boeing’s shenanigans are putting our troops at risk.  This tanker deal has been going on since 2001 and all the delays go directly back to Boeing. That company and its pocket politicians are using very poor judgement with regards to this contract.

sounds like tiahrt, is saying a full bebid, its just propaganda.

working4u , yes you are right. it reminds me of a football game where the winning team keeps falling on the ball to run the clock out.

Please don’t be so bitter.

Rosepetal-In these “knuckle heads” mind it is a total rebid. They will come up with something to force a complete rebid. I am just waiting. Some infraction will come up or they will create some circumstance that will force Gates to re-evaluate his decision for a partial rebid. This is exactly where this is going. I hope our representatives will be smart to this. You cannot take this decision for granted. Our folks must be prepared to react or put measures into place where no more junk can be created by these folks to cause more roadblocks.

working4u , sorry did not think that sounded like you. really i am. i am just very angry, this is such a crock. like i said it is being reported as a rebid. not partial rebid. could take up to a year.  read what boeing stated and it looks like a year. they are stalling for obama.
