The populous and solely organic rebellion in Libya against Gaddafi has taken a turn for the worse. Ever since US and NATO forces have been enforcing the "NO-FLY" Zones the forward momentum the rebels were accustomed to has reversed; the momentum is now on the side of the Gaddafi loyalists.

"Bring Bush! Make a no fly zone, bomb the planes," shouted soldier-turned-rebel Nasr Ali, referring to a no-fly zone imposed on Iraq in 1991 by then U.S. President George Bush. -Reuters

Similar to other coalition operations, the capitalists salivated at the idea of cheap Libyan oil. After the Neocons jumped on board (yes, the same architects of the failed Iraq war) and convinced Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton to go to war the rebellion’s credibility came into question.

Now that the CIA is in Libya helping the rebels, history dictates that whenever the CIA intervenes the result never benefited the people. Soon Xe (formerly known as Blackwater) mercenaries will be setting up camp in Libya and engaging the same behavior they have been doing in Iraq and Pakistan. Is this was the Libyan people want?

If Gaddafi’s forces continue this offensive and win not only will they defeat the "foreign" rebels but they also defeat US and NATO. This will only strengthen Gaddafi and his despotic rule.

All civil rebellions must be organic in nature, free of any foreign influence. Their credibility can never come into question. There’s a fine line between showing support and usurpation.

What do you think happened?

No Oil, No Love?
