Protect the oil is more appropriate should be the main
contention in bombing of Libya by western powers. UN and other
world leaders just nod their heads when UN resolution was passed
under the pretext of save the civilian population, a few months
back. I don’t know when will other world leaders including our
Asean learn their lessons and stop supporting the western powers.

“Washington (CNN)—The rebel government in control of the eastern
part of Libya has made its first sale of oil from territory it
controls, the State Department confirmed Wednesday.
Tesoro, a U.S. oil refiner, entered into a deal May 25 with the
Transitional National Council based in Benghazi, Libya for 1.2
million barrels of Libyan crude oil, the State Department said in a
written statement. The shipment was scheduled to arrive aboard the
MT Equator, a Liberian-flagged tanker, at the Single Point Mooring
in Hawaii on Wednesday. The dollar value of the deal is not
known.”
