After kissing Prince Abdullah on the cheeks, Boy George was hoping for an oil handout, in the form of more Saudi oil being 'pumped.' Alas, his Oil robber baron/partner rubbed the pretzel the wrong way by ignoring his pathetic plea, only making some rhetorical promises about increasing future production capacity.
For a couple hours on Tuesday, the self-dubbed 'leader of the free world' humbled himself and held hands(in front of the camera, no less)with the world's #1 Oil Robber Baron, in a 'thinly-veiled' attempt to 'squeeze' more oil from his one-time business partner. Perhaps the White House occupier even whispered in the Prince's ears, "You rub my back, and I'll rub yours." Unfortunately, all this groveling in front of the world press did George no good, as his greasy tin cup came up empty. Abdullah of Arabia dismissed America's KGB(king george bush) condescendingly with barely a smile, as he so often does with his own Riyadh vassals. This time, the Crown Prince was not going to bail out his paupered ex-partner(a fellow whose house is heavily indebted to foreigners to the tune of over Billion a day(and in soon-to-be-worthless Dollars, no less!).
After all, why should a rich Baron coddle an impoverished state terrorist, when he knows that by stringing him out, in a few more years, the state terrorist will be in even more dire financial straights, and the Prince can then really extract his "pound of flesh"? This is precisely the bushed predicament under which the wacko NeoCons have gotten themselves into, and from which THERE WILL BE NO EASY EXIT. Maintaining an Iron Fist for an Evil Empire, as the Crawford Coward likes to say, "is Hard Work." Yet, his mad C.O.W.(Coalition of Warmongers & Oilers)policies keep him from adopting a truly progressive & sustainable alternative energy plan.
The sad truth of the matter is, Imperial Empires never die, they just atrophy and suffer a "long, slow painful slog" into an a slef-imposed Abyss of Evil. Take that to your political grave, Commander Chickenhawk-in-Chief!
