TigersEye, the link you provided totally supports the argument in post #31. Libya is not a big producer, but it is important as a pipeline. Civil war in Libya sent the markets jittery and pushed the prices up. The west cannot afford to allow disruption on that scale. Its all there! Are you so wedded to your ideas (and I don't know exactly what they are because you haven't outlined anything other than the magic words gold and oil) that you cannot entertain an alternate theory?

Also, why is it so neccesary to include personal insult in every response? I understand that denigrating someone's intelligence makes you look smart in comparison, but it does get old quickly. It's now giving the impression that you really don't know what you are talking about.

You really must be a low-grade moron not to understand the reason for that. You need to get back on your medications.

The links (plural) that I provided both show that Libya IS a big producer.

Civil war in Libya sent the markets jittery and pushed the prices up. The west cannot afford to allow disruption on that scale. Its all there!

In other words NATO intervened for ... wait for it ... OIL!

Too bad Libya's production has been cut by half due to NATO's intervention and it has lasted months not days.
