"Through his own eponymous consulting firm, Armitage has lobbied on behalf of L-3 Communications Inc., one of the nation’s largest intelligence contractors, to help it sell anti-submarine surveillance systems to Taiwan.
"L-3, like ManTech, is also heavily involved in Iraq. (Further topping off Armitage’s investment interests in the war:
He sits on the board of directors of ConocoPhillips, which is aiming to become a major player in Iraq’s energy industry through a joint venture with Russia’s Lukoil.)
"In these jobs, former high-level officials like Armitage continue to fight terrorist threats and protect the 'homeland,' as they once did while working in government. But by fusing their political careers with business, these former officials have brought money-making into the highest reaches of national security.

They have created a new class of capitalist policy-makers that is bridging the gap between public policy and private business in ways that are unprecedented in American history."

You're still a one-trick pony, coward, and all you are showing the readers is that you resent people who have money. If you had spent probably one-fourth the time on your education when you were young (in your town there are community colleges, occupational centers, trade-tech schools) as you spend running around to different forums whining about the same things, your retirement would be enjoyable for you and you wouldn't have to whine so much. Why not get a job as a Walmart greeter to earn a few bucks that you can spend on some entertainment? In a big city such as yours, there has to be loads of fun things going on and it's a shame you can't afford them. Now come back and whine some more, Georgie Boy, about the same old stuff you have been whining about for ages. You're like an old record player with a broken needle.
You're an old fool who'll die without ever knowing how useful his "life" has been to those who make big money from mass murder.
"Take the case of George Tenet, who retired in 2004 from his service as President Bush’s CIA director. As he was writing his memoirs and preparing for a new career as a professor at Georgetown University, Tenet quietly began cutting deals with companies that earn much of their revenues from contracts with the intelligence community.
"And, as I was the first to report a year ago in Salon, Tenet began to make big money off of the Iraq war.
"By the end of 2007, he had made nearly $3 million in directors’ fees and other compensation from his service as a director and adviser to four companies that provide the U.S. government with technology, equipment and personnel used for the war in Iraq, as well as in the broader war on terror."

Die soon, Sissy.
Is the loser at it again, Georgie Boy, typing away in your little subsidized apartment like a lazy old fool instead of trying to get yourself a part-time job to earn a few bucks to get yourself out of that subsidized apartment for a while and enjoy what Los Angeles has to offer its inhabitants. You are only showing us, Georgie Boy, how green with envy you are at people having money with your same old stuff over and over and over and also what a mentally sick fool you are by telling me to die soon. By the way, the sissy here is you, although you will never admit it. Hide in your little apartment, typing frantically
like a maniac on different forums, so that the boogeyman doesn't get you. Hmmm, I wonder on how many forums this loser has told people to die soon. This is only a forum, Georgie Boy, and mentally stable people don't tell other posters to die soon regardless of what they post. You can live to be 110 for all I care because you don't affect my real life one way or the other.

Have you ever thought, Georgie Boy, that if you ever put as much effort into your own education when you were younger you wouldn't be depending on a subsidized apartment right now paid for by people who did put in some effort unlike you, and you wouldn't constantly be on forums whining about people who have so much more than you do? That color green for envy certainly becomes you. So tell us, Georgie Boy, for a change of pace, what do you think of the Arab Spring?
