Well it is good news its finally over, but Boeing could have saved us all alot of time in 2002 if they would have just bribed the right folks back then. If you're trying to screw the taxpayers out of $11 Billion, you gotta figure on a little more "walking around" money up front. As it was they tried to get off cheap... That mistake cost the USAF 10 years at least. Who knows how much it cost Boeing this time around...

One thing we can take away from this bidding process is that even though you play by the rules, build a better aircraft and win the contract you can still lose when the other company whines and complains like a big baby.
