Congressman Norm Dicks (D-WA) spoke at Senator Patty Murray's press conference after the Government Accountability Office (GAO) announced its decision to sustain Boeing's protest of the Air Force's $35 billion air-refueling tanker contract.

You're kidding, right?
Points regarding this socialist blowhard's speech:
Larger planes carrying more cargo are not LESS efficient. And since the two planes use basically the same engine class, this makes the larger plane MORE efficient.
Also, when was the last time a STRATEGIC tanker needed to land at a TACTICAL airfield? Answer: NEVER.
This pro-union, anti-military schmuck has no concern for the troops who need the equipment...only for demonrat votes.

Congressman Dicks is a man of such mighty intellect, vision and wisdom it brings a tear to my eye -- as I'm sure it does to all right-thinking people who hear his considered and clear-minded insights on these vital matters.
America's international partners and allies really know where they stand while heroes like him are on watch. It's great to see that America is truly open for business.
Dicks, I salute you.
