So Boeing will get a limited
modified rebid of the troubled air tanker contract. And what
will the bully company do when it loses the rebid because its plane
still isn't good enough and isn't ready? How many threats will it
throw around then? How loudly will it whine? How many more whoring
congressmen will Boeing work like marionettes to spout the
company's party line?
In all my years following the federal government, I have never,
ever, EVER seen treatment of a major government contract bid as
underhanded, as scurrilous, as brazenly bullying, and as nasty as
the campaign Boeing has conducted sinced losing the tanker
contract. Poetic justice would be for this new limited rebid to end
as the first bid did, with Boeing's chances up in smoke.
