B. There's no indication we went into Libya for the primary purpose of
getting its oil.


You might want to read up on recent media reports.

I doubt Libyans will want to give up their socialism to become client
states of the west. In Libya, aside from the usual dictatorial graft,
the revenues from oil went to improve the lives of the people, not to
fill the corporate coffers. We'll continue to buy Libyan oil, but on
Libya's terms.

I can't cite because I can't remember where I read or heard it, but a recent
non-partisan report suggests that part of our
interest in Libya is it's abundance of light, sweet crude .... easily and
cheaply converted to fuel ... and the type of crude
that our refineries love to get. In the article, Libya was referred to as
the next "Saudi -Arabia" type source.

I am afraid that President Obama is as much under the influence of big
business as any other major politician of the last
30 years or so. There's no "change". He talks the talk but doesn't walk
the walk.
