One of us has to stop. And we know it won't be you. So I will debark this childish merry-go-round you're running. And, of course, you will place this on your resume as another debate won. Sad, silly man that you are.

Toodles, Minister.

It'll go down as yet another attempt on your part to personalise a political discussion. Have the last word, I couldn't give a damn... but make it relevant this time.

Libya happens to be north Africa's largest oil producer, with nationalized oil industry. That's the biggest difference when compared to Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Egypt, etc. so no wonder US said even a military intervention isn't out of the question.

EDIT: Oh, and Libya doesn't have US supplied weaponry, like Egypt, but it's military is run by a mental patient. Thus an easier target. wink

That's right, the arms were supplied by Blair who's also a mental patient.

Well, to be fair, those AK 47s came officially from Romania, although they probably took their proxy cut, since batch was a little thin compared to the original amount. Oh, and they got Italian helicopters from a demented old perv, more firearms from Malta, comms equipment from Germany and so on

That's right... Blair mainly sold riot control hardware and supplies such as armoured personnel carriers, tear gas and irritant ammo for controlling (cough) terrorists.

That is correct.

However the larger picture is when you look all the combined oil producing countries. According to one CNN analyst , Libya exports 3 to 4 % of the worlds oil and only has 1% of the worlds oil reserve. If those numbers are correct Libya is a small player on the world market and should not effect oil prices.

The real concern is Bahrain , Saudi and Kuwait.

They are in Middle East, not North Africa. Furthermore, the US has established presence there, not so much in northern Africa. Especially now when Egypt has become sort of in-between and not an actual ally, but not an enemy either.

And the situation is almost the same in Tunisia and Algeria, as it is in Libya. Oh, and Iran. They already crushed one uprising there.

Also, remember how Libya and Gaddafi was a huge PITA during Reagan era? Libya is also considered to be underexplored.

You right about the regional politics.

I was only talking about % of world oil produced - their location means nothing.
Libya at 3% is so minor that any other country can easily pick that up. Which the Saudis already said they will increase production. So oil prices should go back down
