We don't NEED no stinkin' new airplanes.....
| Quote: | Obama Seeks to Delay Tanker, Cancel Bomber
By Josh Rogin, CQ Staff
Sen. Jeff Sessions , R-Ala., said Congress would fight back against a delay in the tanker contract if it is submitted in the formal budget request. The Northrop Grumman contender for the contract would be assembled largely in his state.
“For a group who has been in the OMB for just a matter of weeks to come in and suggest the cancellation of the No. 1 Air Force priority for procurement is stunning, and I don’t think Congress will accept that,” Sessions said.
Congress has repeatedly called for the tanker contract to be competitively bid as soon as possible, Sessions said, adding that there would be an effort to include the money in either the war supplemental or regular Defense appropriation bill.
Sen. Sam Brownback , R-Kan., whose state would benefit if Boeing won the contract, called the OMB guidance “deeply disturbing.”
“The longer we wait to begin building tankers, the more we jeopardize our many global operations, from war-fighting to relief efforts, which depend on this vital platform,” he said.
The tanker program has support from more lawmakers than just those with parochial interests, one Democratic Senate aide said. Congressmen on defense-related committees and those who have large military constituencies will also fight any delay in tanker procurement.
“There is an effort among senior senators in both parties to make sure that we get moving quicker on the air refueling tanker contract,” said the aide, noting that Sens. Kent Conrad , D-N.D., and Orrin G. Hatch , R-Utah, are drafting a letter to Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn arguing that point.
Members of Congress largely agree that the current tankers are too old and delaying the new one takes on too much risk, the aide said. Although it was too early to talk strategy because the administration’s decision isn’t final, he said, “In the end, Congress will write the appropriations bills.” |
....wouldn't surprise me if they have some tankers in the "porkulus" bill for HAMAS....

And the OBAMUNIST Administration and Congress are even paying Shariah tax via AIG using YOUR tax money!

Attorneys: Lawsuit dismissal would leave U.S. funding Islamic terrorists
A non-profit legal group that sued the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Treasury over the distribution of billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to the Shariah-supporting American International Group is warning the case must not be dismissed.
The case was brought against the Fed and the Treasury by the Thomas More Law Center, and spokesman Richard Thompson says he's challenging the U.S. government's own "financial support to anti-American, Islamic activities."
"Make no mistake, there is a cultural jihad underway against our great nation, and I fear that our government is unwittingly complicit in it," Thompson said
His comments came in opposition to a move on the part of the Obama administration to have the case dismissed..... |
