Isn't Libya in Africa and not the Middle East?
And a Libyan invasion didn't work in the 80's why would it work now?

You're generally well informed, but do you really not understand how capitalism works? We don't sell our oil and buy theirs. And who uses oil for power plants?

As per Semperfly's link, we DO indeed sell our some of our oil. And we don't sell it back to the Middle East necessarily.

So any country that has a large Muslim population. Interesting. (I always just considered the darker green area as the Middle East)
So, we've stopped covertly assisting with revolutions and now are just overtly saying 'Regime change? If we don't like your leader, give us a call. We've got a stockpile of shit we've just been itching to use'...
I understand the Arab league sanctioned this, but that doesn't mean much as 1) the arab league is really nothing more than a bunch of durkas sitting around drinking coffee but not doing anything but making announcements, & 2) pretty much everyone who hates the US over there probably isn't very fond of the Arab league much (if recent events in that part of the world tell us anything), but still. we've been pretty much at war for a full decade. 10 years of constant war. And really, even longer when you look at the fact that we never really stopped fighting that much since GW1.
Country is going bankrupt yet we are spending well over 600 billion a year on blowing shit up and making the US a joke. And yet we keep voting these fuckers in.

No, I'm just pointing out something different was tried by electing a new guy that promised change, and yet we are still doing the same old things. This is the reason people are looking to alternatives like the tea party, even though its turned from its original awesome idea into some extreme right deal.
And according to your link, those normally run natural gas - which is almost always domestic, and different than oil.
Of course we do. It gets bought and sold ON THE OPEN MARKET. Some companies sell it, US companies included. Some companies buy it, US companies included.
(That's why it cracks me up when people talk about drilling ANWAR so that we can use US oil. It all goes on the market just the same.)
And the Tea Party would find, just like Obama, that they don't have any choice other than to maintain the status quo - just like Obama. This country is a house of cards and cant take "change".
I actually have a tard friend in the tea party. he is ultra con and i'm moderate.. it's sad sometimes.
