From the comments:

The Russian Federation is a partner in EADS.....can someone explain to me how putting our Defense in the hands of our enemy makes any sense?

Some people seem to be even playing the old cold war card now, to try Boeing gets this contract.

Which could easily backfire, as quite some design work on the B787 has been done by Russian subcontractors as well. So also Boeing works with "the enemy".
