But if he does we damn well better keep the oil this time.
Invade Libya....and how did that work for Mussolini...
In any case I read on another thread that Egypt was looking to invade Libya for the oil.
So I guess Obambi will have to suit up against the Egyptians as well.
(And in the confusion Israel takes back the Sinai for good)

Will Egypt seize Libya for its oil? Given Egypts political ideology, its history with its neighbors, and its material needs, this must be a live issue.
The Muslim Brotherhood government desperately needs a $4.8-billion IMF bailout to stop the bleeding but it refuses to curtail its subsidies, as the IMF demands, for fear of triggering a popular revolt. It is instead hoping for aid from oil states and the U.S. government, but even if this materializes, it will be at best a stopgap. With tourists, the countrys chief source of foreign exchange, steering clear of Egypt because of its anti-Western riots, and with foreign investors equally fearful of venturing into the country, Egypts options are daily becoming more limited. The temptation to look next door to Libya could be irresistible, particularly since Egypt views union with Libya as inevitable.
Maybe a joint Egyptian / Obami-USA two pronged attack on Libya...
after all the leaders of both countries sympathize with the mooslim brotherhood.
