Take a deep breath now Europe... Your Libyan oil supply is secure

[GSLevel9]

How fucking dare Qaddaffi negotiate with India and China re: oil contracts. Simply brilliant to negotiate a deal with the rebels trading military support including Sarkozy leading Obama by the nose into war for exclusive oil deals...

:sarcasm:

Brilliant

1. Take a deep breath now GSLevel 9... Your conspiracy theory is ridiculous and fact-free.

If anything, Libya's oil supply would have remained more "secure" had the British and French not successfully petitioned the U.N. for an intervention. The conspiracy theories about Iraq were idiotic as well. Ditto for Afghanistan. None have panned out, have they?

Your lame attempt to step on this historic triumph by Libyan rebels is a FAIL.

2. We get it...

you're not happy that we took out an evil dictator. How many more threads do you plan on starting about this? 3? 4? 5?

Sheesh.

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. It will be interesting to see just how well this new leadership

in Libya controls the power.

4. Thirteen Percent Of Libya's Oil Exports Went To China Last Year, Sir

The Chinese national oil company was not able to get any real foothold in Libya from Ghaddafi, though it was intimated that supplies of heavy weapons might alter this....

[GSLevel9]

6. Precisely...

And the possibility of increased oil exports away from EU was just too much...

[RaleighNCDUer]

10. Seems to me that 13% going halfway around the world is pretty significan

when the primary customer is across the street.

Wouldn't you think?

5. So, you're not a Democrat?

[GSLevel9]

7. So, you're an Electrical Engineer?

Huh? Wtf?

[Lint Head]

8. I think you need to check out the DU posting rules.

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. Please, enlighten us.

How does voicing concerns about the REAL reason for the war in Libya run counter to any DU rules?

[Lint Head]

11. No but calling people names, as was done on a previous post and

13. So, do you have the inside facts regarding Libya or is it like mine, an opinion?

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. Unlike yours, mine is an INFORMED opinion. nt

[Lint Head]

19. Wonderful for you. I guess mine is not.

[TBF]

29. maybe you should let the mods worry about that net nanny. nt

14. GSLevel9 evidently has a higher opinion of "Codpiece" Bush and Ronald Reagan than Pres. Obama.

22. Oil is a fungible commodity, and you look foolish posting this.

Look up 'fungible commodity', educate yourself and spare embarrassing yourself further.


They Really Only Love Liberals here on DU.

[whatchamacallit]

23. So?

How does that change the importance of who controls the production and distribution of a fungible commodity?

[Ikonoklast]

25. Who controlled it before, as he looted hundreds of billions for his family?

Easier for oil companies to deal with dictators than it is with a democratically-elected government.

Big Oil loves them some countries with one-man rule, waaaay easier to bribe.

[whatchamacallit]

26. If you think there won't be strings attached to our "assistance"

you're living in an alternate reality. As the OP attempted to point out, big oil lost control of their dictator and made other arrangements.

[ClarkUSA]

27. What's "living in an alternate reality" is your fact-free conspiracy theory.

[whatchamacallit]

28. Silly me

You're so right Clark, our government has never attempted to capture and control anything by force...

[TBF]

30. K&R -

Now that Obama is in charge war is cool and we kill dictators 24/7 for the oil companies ... when the republicans are back in office this will of course reverse. Thank you for trying to speak the truth despite overwhelming odds given the membership here.
