Maybe he's talking about this sort of stuff.....
"Lockheed Martin, whose former vice president chaired the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which loudly agitated for the invasion, received $25 billion in US government contracts in 2005 alone. Democratic Congressman Henry Waxman noted the sum 'exceeded the GDP of 103 countries including Iceland, Jordon and Costa Rica...[and] was larger than the combined budgets of the Dept of the Interior, the Small Business Administration, and the entire legislative branch of government."
Naomi Klein, Harpers.Or is this more reason to privatise the military?
One loses track.
