Quote:it doesn't make sense does it?  but that's what we're doing.

 

that's what leads to theories about their selfish motives.  one asks why they care so much about overthrowing Qaddafi or Assad, and it's not about "democracy" or "freedom".

 

In my undergrad program back when I went to UNM, I found a pentagon white paper in the law library.  The paper was from 1978.  The whole paper was about how a destabilized middle east was in the best interest of the USA.  A middle east that was united with control of oil reserves was a problem that we've known about for a long time.

 

This is not new to anyone that's been paying attention.

 

The fact is that our foreign policy since at least the 70s when we realized how OPEC could cause such problems with the the corporate economy was to ensure the middle east was a mess.  

 

That is a fact that as basis in actual documents.

 

This idea that the CIA create the Lybian civil war ignores the the facts.  And just throws stuff at the wall to see what sticks.  Once the civil war in Lybia got going, was it in our interest to take out Quadaffi?  Or course!

 

Did we instigate the civil war?  No.
