3. Well, shucks. I hear Beoing is hip-deep in defense work.
It's all business, doncha' know.

Besides, Bush's oil buddies is helping Bush's oil buddies stay neck-deep in profit by setting the flow low.

4. Boeing got a piece of the action.
" Boeing's biggest deal came from Qatar Airways, which ordered 30 787s and options to buy 30 more.

It also bought 27 777s and took five options."

These "deals" often don't actually turn out to be real.
