There are irregularities enough that the GAO is likely to review this decision - Boeing has already complained formally. It would be disheartening to learn that McCain advisors had directed money and jobs overseas at a time when our domestic economy is struggling, but disgraceful if they used inappropriate means to influence the Air Force decision.

Disgusting. Our economy is tanking daily. American companies are exporting jobs overseas, and McClain advisors help an overseas company win a HUGE government contract?
