And the double failures were due, in part, to the malign influence of Sen. John McCain (R?-AZ), who has been to the Air Force what malware is to your laptop. ... But the Air Force can, and must both ignore McCain and factor in the subsidy. The purpose of adding the subsidy is to level the playing field. If the French want to subsidize their aircraft workers to sit around smoking Gauloises, we don't need to contribute $30 billion in U.S. dollars to their subsidies.

I thought you were pulling for the Villepin plane.
At this stage, I don't care which plane is picked to replace the venerable KC 135 -- it just needs to be done, like, yesterday. Why dilly and dally, when the whole Air Force relies on tankers built in the 1950s? This is grotesque.
Coulda said that 20 years ago and it would have sounded like an emergency then. So?
Sometimes, I despair of Rotter Logik... Maybe the Rooskies are gonna build the damn tanker replacement if we keep putzing around? Frying chickens!
You'd be the first to pull for the Mikoyan, wouldn't you?
It's Antonov. Not Mikoyan. In Ukraine. Not Russia. Minsk=/=Pinsk, ya know.
Opera buffa.
