This author appears to have a good grasp on the economic strategies of the Empire that is shaping its operations in Libya.
It is apparent, then, the reason why — with an operation decided not in Bengazi, but in Washington, London and Paris — the National Transitional Council has created the "Libyan Oil Company.” This is an empty shell, much like one of those companies that are ready key in hand for investors in tax havens. It is intended to replace Libya’s National Oil Company (NOC) when the "willing" have taken control of oil fields. Its task will be to grant licenses on terms highly favorable to U.S., British and French companies.
