I don't know if its true but Cook's comment about using Foriegn workers because our citizens are not skilled enough seems to me to be his attempt to shift the blame.
I'm not saying its true at all but it rather sounds Ilike it.
As ponder on what he said. I'm rather inclined to agree with him. Sigh.

Actually your link had some different insight on the matter. Kind of what Tim alluded to, the US not having the skills. Kind of sad.
Apple had 700,000 factory workers employed in China, [Jobs] said, and that was because it needed 30,000 engineers on-site to support those workers. "You can't find that many in America to hire," he said. These factory engineers did not have to be PhDs or geniuses; they simply needed to have basic engineering skills for manufacturing. Tech schools, community colleges, or trade schools could train them. "If you could educate these engineers," he said, "we could move more manufacturing plants here." (Steve Jobs, p. 546).
