EIN New says "Libya Rebels May Sell First Oil Cargo This Week Libyan rebels may this week sell the first tankerful of crude since an uprising against leader Muammar Gaddafi fully halted exports from the North African country and sent oil prices higher. (reuters.com)".
So the Libyan uprising is all about oil, which goes to France. However, the US does get something. A bill for the non-war.
What happened to the old-time wars, where if you won, you obtain some kind of benefit (spoils)? I suppose that all changed when we established the Marshall plan after World War II, wherein we bore not only the cost of the US involvement in the war but also the rebuilding costs for Japan and Germany.
It's nice for Americans to be compassionate, but let's not carry it to the ridiculous.
