In a flurry of feel-good quotes, the Navy extended the NMCI contract with another $3.1 billion. In for a penny, in for a billion. Once again, we turn to the good folks at Federal Computer Week for the compact
version.
In a dizzying flourish of Clinton-esque "spin", EDS stated that the newly "crafted" contract extension "...ensures the long-term success of the Navy and Marine Corps’ mission...."
Wow. It ensures it. Can we maybe focus on the short-term success? Can we focus on any success at all?
