ORIGINAL: Politesub53 My room is not very big and only has one window. You still didnt find any reasonable reply to the fact that we could have had more oil, simply by cutting a deal with Gaddafi. I am surprised you are allowed that modest liberty.. And KDaffy woudl have been pulling the plug on the EUro, as the French discovered to their terror while interrogating the defecting Chief of Protocol. But Disaster capitalism swoops over Libya with a much finer style. And Be it oil, or central banking Libyan was certain to be a Fatal Tomahawk attraction. But anyway Welcome to Libya's 'democracy' - quote:
So the big winners in the end are London, Washington, the House of Saud and the Qataris (they sent jets and "advisers", they are already handling the oil sales). With a special mention for the compound Pentagon/NATO - considering that Africom will finally set up its first African base in the Mediterranean, and NATO is one step closer to declaring the Mediterranean "a NATO lake". Islamism? Tribalism? These may be Libya's lesser ills compared to a new fantasyland open to neo-liberalism. There are few doubts the new Western masters won't try to revive a friendlier version of Iraq's nefarious, rapacious Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), turning Libya into a hardcore neo-liberal dream of 100% ownership of Libyan assets, total repatriation of profits, Western corporations with the same legal standing of local firms, foreign banks buying local banks and very low income and corporate taxes. Don't worry, this scheme is apt to go as far off track as the "oil will pay for it all" one the neo-conservatives in the US and the Blairists in the UK devised for Iraq has, and most likely a bit quicker, too. Naturally it will be everyone but a EUropean's fault when it does. And the popeyes's OP just touches on the start of these troubles.
