US led military intervention aims to control Libyan oil

Hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in Libya since the United States, Britain, France and many other Western invaders launched their onslaught on the North African country. The motive behind the military operation costing billions of dollars is to take control of the vast oil reserves in Libya.  

Oil Crusade
The attacks on Libya are being carried out under the pretext of protecting the Libyan citizens, but in fact it is a part of ongoing Crusade to plunder the wealth of Muslim nations. The US led military intervention in Libya is the biggest since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.        

Despite the battle that rages over Libya, the oil giant BP has confirmed it will begin deepwater drilling off the Libyan coast under a deal signed in 2007. The company with a notorious track record of negligence over its handling of Gulf of Mexico oil spill is set to begin the first well in the next few weeks.     

Colonel Muammar al-Qaddafi was on the West’s good books until recently and the Western powers were eager to do deals with him before protests erupted in Libya. The West grabbed the opportunity to ditch Qaddafi like all other brutal dictators in the Muslim world who were allowed to enjoy a honeymoon with the West until it was time to discard them.   

It is paradoxical to talk of humanitarian intervention to save Libyan lives while the West has no concern for their own people who are fighting and dying in Afghanistan. The United States has a habit of grabbing or stealing others wealth by freezing their assets or robbing them through invasion and occupation. The US led Crusade in Libya also aims to penetrate into Sub-Saharan African countries rich in minerals and other natural resources.
