John McCain's role in a controversial Air Force tanker contract: "He asked for the Air Force to take into consideration, which he thought the Air Force regulations required, aircraft -- taking into consideration maximizing cargo and passenger capacity, which are important in a supertanker. Well, they did. And now Northrop Grumman and Airbus won the contract." But McCain also reportedly urged the Defense Department to not consider the potential implications of a World Trade Organization dispute between the United States and the European Union over whether Airbus and Boeing received illegal subsidies for commercial airliners from their respective governments. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803170006 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:53:30 EST Fred Barnes: "MoveOn.org -- which hates the war, hates the military, hates America -- endorsed Obama" http://mediamatters.org/items/200802030004 Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes stated on Fox News' The Beltway Boys that "MoveOn.org -- which hates the war, hates the military, hates America -- endorsed [Sen.
