Grace I think you are diluting the debate by getting caught up in semantical distractions ("support" vs. "create"). Your argument may have had merit if EADS was a long established major player in the U.S. defense market. You still appear to ignore that EADS has every incentive to carry through on it's promises (whether explicity or implicit) since it's the new kid on the block and none to do otherwise. Your argument does not make sense in this context from the get go. By your line of reasoning, even Boeing's data is just that, data. Having more than a casual interest in the aerospace industry, I trust Boeing's word no more than EADS.
