You Have to Suspect That "The Fix Is In."

The European military contractor that lost a bid to build Air Force refueling tankers said Friday that it would not protest the awarding of that contract to the Boeing Company, ending years of struggle that had highlighted flaws in the Pentagon’s contracting procedures.
Riiight. Nobody just walks away from a project worth 35 billion or more because they are nice guys who just want "to put the best interest of the war-fighters first."

Certainly not when Congress is not letting the Army buy better IED detection gear because the money for that would come from buying new Humvees (which the Army doesn't want) because the manufacturer of Humvees gave a shitload of money to one congressman.
