KC-45 Protest: Boeing Backing Off?

Flash:

The GAO just:

"denied motions filed by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) and the United States Air Force calling for a partial dismissal of Boeing Corporation's protest of the Air Force decision in the KC-45 Tanker acquisition process."

Why, pray tell?

"The denials came after a supplemental filing by Boeing Corporation that streamlined its original protest and eliminated many of the elements that were central to the Air Force and Northrop Grumman motions"

Ohhhhh.

OK, so what's left?

Update: Well, NOW Boeing claims it DIDN'T 'narrow' the protest. Riiight.
