We have lost Libya completely.â?? That trenchant sound bite came not from Col. Muammar Qaddafi or one of his belligerent children. The source was a certain Aram Shegunts, director general of the Russia-Libya Business Council.
Qaddafi was pretty good to Russia. With Anglo-American oil majors barred from Libya by economic sanctions, the colonel ceded multi-billion dollar drilling contracts to state-connected Russian oil companies like Gazprom Neft and Tatneft. The Kremlin repaid him with dogged support when civil war broke out in his country this spring.
Compare the Kremlinâ??s inept handling of the Libyan crisis with the wilier line pursued by Italy, Qaddafiâ??s best friend in Western Europe. Silvio Berlusconiâ??s government managed to play good cop and bad cop serially, offering to mediate early in the conflict but lining up with its NATO allies when push came to shove. As a result, Italian energy giant Eni (E) is poised to reassume its leading role in Libya, and its shares jumped 7% in two days after the rebels entered Tripoli. http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/russia-markets-bric-countries-bric-russia/8/23/2011/id/36513

There’s probably a little of that but the people running the show don’t really care about that. They just want to bail out Italy so that its government won’t default on its sovereign debt and drag down the European banking system.

Your understanding of military matters is probably right under your awareness of solid data which I’ve posted and explained to you in detail on other threads.

Thanks for proving a point which was made on yet another thread about atheists resorting to this type of comment when all else goes wrong. Your inability to avoid attacking me because I’m a Christian speaks to your low level of understanding of not only religion but human nature as well. In short, you’re a bottom feeder.

I have no problem with Christians.
The very moment though that I saw Jerry Falwell attack a Jesuit for his supposedly insufficient understanding of the Bible I knew that I could not take a certain proletarian, anti-intellectual branch of American Christians seriously.

You have a very big problem with Christians. And at every opportunity you revert to the religious bigot that you are. Regardless of the subject matter if the debate winds on at at some point you will post something about my (or another persons) Christianity. You’ve done it repeatedly. In fact, you’ve just done it again on another thread that we are on.
And if you really don’t know you’re doing this you have a bigger problem that I originally thought.

I can’t take ANY Protestants seriously. Jesus founded His church upon the Apostle Peter not upon Martin Luther, John Calvin or Henry VIII.
