    Us would not liberate or whetever libya if gadaffi would not be killing its own people and going mad. Since he has US will see a good reason to proceed and get some of its needs fulfilled.

    There's a lot of dictators around today that still kill their own people, why Libya? Is it because Libya has $4.6 trillion in proven oil reserves? Why don't they go and 'liberate' Somalia, maybe it's because they've got no oil?

    Can't help but see the connection for the US going after oil rich territories that have a weak defenses. They'd take a pop at Iran and Saudi Arabia, if they knew they could get away with it.

    No reason to put out conspiracy theories. US policy regarding the world oil market has been clearly spelled out for decades.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carter_Doctrine

    Regarding Libya, that was way more Eurozone than US, so we'll have to assume they have the exact same policies. Gadhafi was going down by the hand of the very people he oppressed. The idea that the support they received from the international community had nothing to do with Libya's oil would be naive.

    In order for you to properly connect the dots, you would have to show that the French and the American government serve the same interest groups. :)

    Ya Seqqa but no dictator on earth ever ordered war plans to bomb the civilian population , the tanks to use their main guns and artillery to launch barrages on his own cities . When it comes to nutjobs Gaddafi was the creme de la creme . Also the African Union is fighting in Somalia and you can be sure that they are getting some serious money . Oh and next time please don't post a video from Russia Today . Those people would tear us apart limb from limb if they could .

    Yeah so right.
    I remember interview of Saifolisalm with Euronews before UN approved to involve in Libya. Saifolislam addressed opponents flee or die in two days merciless.


    guess the same reason, that no flotillas goes for Somalia.

    Except, we don't actually get any oil from the countries we go after terrorists in. So yeah... there's that.
