    My point was that GE's participation in the arms industry is not significant enough to justify shilling for the Iraq war. They seem to have not made very much money from war-related industries, and lost money during their fiscal quarter that included the Iraq invasion. They do shill, but the fact that they have ties to the arms industry doesn't seem to be the factor behind it.
