OK I stand corrected. We do get some oil from Libya. But it just doesn't seem to be a significant amount. Like 2% of our imported oil. Less than we get from Belgium and Trinadad and Tobago.
Your reply to Fafa here was that oil was one of the reasons we intervened.
a) we don't have oil interests in africa
So was it? Is this a war for oil?
I don't know why, you've been given a pretty decent answer..
I mean, we may not even have Israel on our side in that one..
now, you may not like it.. but don't say you can't make real sense of the administration's policy. .. it's pretty clear.
You accept everything pretty much uncritically from the administration so you may not be the best judge of whats a clear answer or not.
Why was the fact that large areas in rebel hands make a difference as to whether it was in US national interest or not?
Or because the international community and the Arab League supported it? How does that make it US national interest?
