Basically this one has it all. Protectionism, government corruption, shady backroom deals, and international drama.

Of course the reason Gates has said his office and not the Air Force will decide this contract is because the Air Force actually decided based on the airbus costing billions less and not how much money Boeing gave Congressmen. It's a joke. A transparent joke.
