I’ll piggyback it onto a bill to dredge and drill the Potomac
and see if we can come to a compromise.

I wonder if we can drill for oil off the coast of the French Riviera?

I’ve always thought France would make a nice territory of
the United States.

There are fifty-thousand worlds of difference between a private company in France and a deposed Shah of Iran. And I wouldn’t lose sleep worrying about France going all-out jihad any time soon.

But who knows?

What if the USAF receives nothing but a giant sack of Freedom Fries on delivery day? What then?

There are fifty worlds of difference between France and Iran.

There are various bad-case scenarios in any contract awarded.

What if Boeing got mad at GAO or the Air-Force in a payment or other
dispute and refused to continue work on the tankers. Or refused to
deliver the finished goods?

Besides this case is markedly different from the American government
refusing to ship to Iran after the Shah was deposed. All parties
involved in manufacturing and delivery of the tanker are privately
held companies. The Air Force is the recipient.

To buy a critical element of the US Armed Forces from the French is unsupportable idiocy!! When the Shah of Iran bought huge piles of military hardware including fighter airplanes, then was deposed, the US then refused to ship to Iran. Those bought and paid for airplanes sat unused for many years until eventually sold by the US to more friendly users. What convinces the USAF that similarly France would not refuse to deliver, to support, the USAF in the future in some possible squabble? The US set a precedent that now could very easily thwart our policies. And what would be the French position if their then-Prime Minister was one bearing the name of “Abdul Mohammed Al-Hakim” or some similar Arab Islamist name, and a fervent Jihadist Muslim?
