What do want to bet there was a bit of politics involved also? Throwing a big bone to EADS and Northrop is likely to keep our allies happy, who were pushing for the KC-45, not to mention taking Boeing down a peg, since they were feeling like they were the only game in town. I got a laugh at the protester with the sign, "American Workers = Better Tankers"...where did they think these were going to be built? They're building them in Alabama.
