GK121, the details of the first tanker fiasco are really moot (other than the USAF and Boeing being corrupt).
EADS and the Europeans were more than happy to have that one go down the tubes since it wasn't fair.
How can they b1tch about this one since the USAF screwed a different but still unfair pooch?
Again, for the last time, I'm not advocating for either one as the better tanker just get something decided and start building.
