...I did some googling. No certainty hits.
So.. is the Pentagon going to go ahead and buy those planes from the
Northrup/Airbus consortium? Who's the lead man for Northrup connected
to the military-industrial complex that does not hesitate to screw USA
labor? Why do you vote Republican and promote the rape and pillage of
the USA treasury and job market, under the guise of god, gays, and
guns? Pfui. Republicans have no social redeeming value.

Yup. The Northrop consortium had the best bid.
The GAO will say so in June and Boeing will have to lump
it. Mind you some of their bought and paid for politicians
may try to derail the whole program but thats life. Should that
happen Boeing may expect big time pushback from their customer.

NG may have told the Air Dorce they wouldn't be able to bid the
original spec. Bids on programs like this aren't cheap and NG
wouldn't throw their money at a program they plainly had no
chance of winning.

And it can't operate form makeshift fields on the FEBA either
but guess what the 767 can't either.
The A330 can operate from just about anywhere the 767 can,
Might be a tad tighter on ramp space but then again you wouldn't
need as many of the A330 for a given mission.

We can defeat a national resistance but I'd hardly qualify the
Taliban as such. Were we to take the gloves off and go after the
Taliban, their families, supporters, etc with the same sort of
lack of inhibition the Taliban and AQ demonstrate the problem
would be resolved very quickly.
Thing is, we don't do stuff like that.

Nathless they were aiding and abetting AQ. Iraq was exercising
"operational control" of AQ but they were certainly enabling them.
So you approve of Sodom the Insane and his ilk? Hardly surprising.
