Way to go Mobile. The KC - 45 will be proudly built by Americans in the great state of Alabama.

The last program EADS won, they told everyone they would build a factory in america also...then when it came time to build it they changed their mind. If you believe they'll build it in mobile, I have some dehydrated water to sell you :)

His name is Todd Tiahrt

How would a job that employed thousands of workers from Florida to Louisiana be outsourcing jobs especially in an area that needs as many jobs possible after Katrina?  Career politicians they start off in the House then they work their way up to Senate and only represent the constituents who voted for them. So in other words "hey screw you, you didn't vote for me". "This tanker project will go to a district that voted for me."

I dont think so! The Plan was to construct t and building 70% of the parts in the US because of the low dollar and lowe US wage costs. As BMW and Mercedes does it right now in Alabama

why should Europe hate the US? Don´t come up with this "European" against America shit. Foreign owners of US Treasury Securities for example is Britain with 178 Billion USD (Britain is in Europe) Germany 140 Billion a.s.o The U.S. also has a large trade deficit, meaning imports exceed exports. Financing these deficits requires the USA to borrow large sums from abroad. Inform yourselb better befor you post such nonsens

´he is build on Airbus plane that is correct.

But he is faster and can hold 20% more gasoline. As ryanspeed told befor...CongressmanTiahrt failed to mention that Boeing outsources almost half (if not more) of their parts Overseas.

Parts of the /(/ Dreamliner are manufactured in Turkey, Italy, Japan and Germany..The 787 is just assembled in the US. where are the Jobs for American...?

[acms13]

Go get Em' Todd!

[ryanspeed]

And not only that, Tiahrt, but you also run an extreme risk of shitting in your and the entire country's mess kit!

How!? Well, with the Euro charging well ahead of the dollar and you and Norman Dicks hooting and hollering over this contract you both are in a roundabout way telling Europe and the world "we dont want your goods....but buy ours"!

The upshot: Dont blame nobody but yourselves when European companies invest elsewhere!

The best thing you and Dicks can do is sit down and shut up!

[ryanspeed]

Tiahrt,

You failed to mention that Boeing outsources almost half (if not more) of their parts OVERSEAS! Even to China!

I know, I worked for them before!

[jagsouthern]

Even though I don't agree with Tiahrt I do wish our local congressman was more assertive in supporting NG. At least this guy is saying whatever it takes to show his people he cares. After all, since they are politicians you don't really expect them to tell the truth. Make us all feel good about you so we vote for you again.

Mind boggling?! Its a competition for a contract, it happens because its fair, yea somthing is wrong in the eyes of the United States, i think i know the solution. The U.S will say somthing about WMD's and bomb them.
