Iraq. The second time, to be more specific to the context of the prior question.

Only for a couple of hours. And they barely even bothered to protest, getting caught red handed and all.

I remeber when the 787 was being launched and boeimg was yrs behind in delivery. There was a strike and low and behold Boeing had a clause in their contracts that said if there was a strike they didnt have to pay any penalties to the customer for being late.
wonder if that's happening now...

Nope.

Deal has been reached, 25% raises.

Ortberg probably concluded (probably correctly) that now is not that the time for a protracted knock-down, drag-out fight with the people who build their products.

More important things on the agenda. And to hell with penalties, at this point the customers are all ready to go get in line at Toulouse.

how many high level Al-Qaeda operatives responsible for 9/11 did we find in Iraq?

for all his warts, I don’t see Saddam harboring a rogue terrorist organization that didn’t align with his goals.

The graveyard of empires? Yeah, I did. Learned a lot about it. But never quite figured out what it had to do with our almost decade war in Iraq.
