Partly Facetious: all the oil in the world, and not a spine

"Poodle as the chief negotiator..."
"Sounds good in one respect!"
"What?"
"He brokered the deal in Northern Ireland."
"Right and that conflict was considerably older than the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; however there was one major difference."
"Each conflict is unique in a sense so..."

"Stop with all the dises..."
"Dises?"
"Well displacement, dispossession..."
"Ah, I get it."
"I believe Poodle should from henceforth be referred to as the Disman."
"Good idea but there is another difference between the two conflicts."
"What?"
"The Northern Ireland peace process was started by Poodle's predecessor, he just got on the bandwagon."

"They have no guts and no clout. All the oil in the world and not a spine amongst them."
