I would think, as one of the top defence contractors, Boeing would have thousands of Pentagon links.

$20 million here, $20 million there. They could have at least changed the amount.

Mr Perle co-wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal in August, arguing for the deal's approval when it was facing intense criticism from Congress. He did not disclose the Boeing investment.

As Mayor Ed Koch once remarked about Donald Trump...."piggy, piggy, piggy."

What else is new?
Who should the Pentagon have chose; airbus?
The deal was written by the Senate Democrats, whose leader's wife was lobbyist for Boeing.
