Northrup Grumman is an American company, where else could they have gone to have the plane built? Boeing, Lockheed Martin? I think not, they compete against each other...not work together. It indeed sucks to think France would get even one red cent of our defense budget, but they are on our list of approved suppliers....

Halliburton??? Heck, they don't have to bed, just take the money to the bank!!!! And of course our VP cut all ties with Halliburton when Honest George hired him!!!!!!! Originally Posted by ceh383

Ya know what, Tech is right!!!! It's probably to late to do anything besides just watch this country self destruct........then hopefully hang around long enough to see if the people learned anything when the rebuild commences......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
