Fisking, By Fisk

Middle East realpolitik is one of the least-understood things in our exceptional America.  The basic American belief is that jesus put our oil underneath those dirt people so we can do whatever the fuck we want and never have to give a fuck about any of it.  That's fucking genius of you are the average teabagging fuckstain, but for the rest of the world it creates unending annoyance.  The Saudis are easily the worst of the bunch along with the reprehensible Israelis.  But American foreign policy is always about the petroleum and the most convenient short-term solution and never, ever about what's actually best for the US or anyone else.  Fisk is an English-speaking expert, and the fact that you never see him on your 24-hour cable tee vee "news" channels is not at all an oversight.
