Are ye fookin’ kidding?!? The Washington establishment is bought and paid for by the Saudis. “You take care of us now and we take care of you later” is the unofficial Saudi motto to Yanqui pols, diplos and bureaucrats. The State Dept. is owned lock, stock and barrel by them.
Serve them well now and you will be guaranteed sweet, sweet bennies when you retire. Consultancies, contracts and advisory positions with the multitudinous think tanks, scholarly institutes, lobbying shops, councils and associations funded by the perfidious princes exist to feather the nests of their faithful servants.

There’s so much to be said about your post that it would require a Blog site for all the disturbing ways the State Dept has been infiltrated/purchased. Too many things.
Never the less, your post is a great reminder for those chasing the koranimals down.
