Thoughts on the MENA Leb Situ
Today I had lunch with an important MENA finance group director, and thankfully a good friend of mine. We had a nice round of chilled rose together, and besides discussing various issues regarding equity investments, FDI and the like in the region, we hit on Leb Land and the utterly - I repeat utterly - Pyrhhic offensive of Leb Land 82 Bis that Israel is undertaking (wasn't me I may add who raised, fuck no). The subject was fundamentally depressing. Working, as I do, for a firm with US base, I am prisoner of every idiocy that the cretininous, and I do use the term advisedly, American goverment undertakes.
Luckily personal relationships in MENA almost always trump politics, but bloody hell my cost of doing business increases daily, and gratitiously. What the bloody fuck is so hard to understand that for appearances alone, that it is necessary to make diplomatic calls for a ceasefire (and not in the completely idiotic manner of Rice, for whom I no longer have the slightest respect, the deluded cunt clearly is living in a fuckng fantasy reboot of her E. Euro speciality), and if one is intelligent, restrain one's ally in one's own fucking interest.
I leave aside the utterly cuntish UK policy which barely merits the even contempt (ex the tardy if at least well expressed denunciation of Israel's Pyrrhic and utterly stupid tactics before strategy replay of 82).
