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.
So was it? Is this a war for oil?
you make my head hurt.
it's not that black and white..
so no it wasn't... and then yes it was..
the same way fafa and I were both correct when we said
B. That's not what the US Armed Forces mission is in the world.
b)sometimes it is..
you know this.. why do you want to pretend otherwise just because the President has (D) after his name? Can you really not get over it already?
You accept everything pretty much uncritically from the administration so you may not be the best judge of whats a clear answer or not.
and you only accept words,thoughts,wars, and polices if they come from GOP members..
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?
I think the article I gave and JBG's reply is pretty easy to understand, so nothing I can say now will make it an easier for you to decide to understand it.. how about pretending it's coming from Bush and Cheney, maybe that will make it easier for you to get?
