Shill for Saudi and OPEC much?
I just know them better than most Americans. ARAMCO is an amazing company and I was around when Zaki Yamani was oil minister and they were forming OPEC. It was better than the Texas Railroad Commission that controlled US oil production. I also knew the Sudeiri Seven so I know the country and its people pretty well.
American oil men have a lot to be proud of and they kept the US government at arm's length... so there was never the kind of turmoil the British had in Iraq and Iran.
Does it bother you so much?
