French oil companies are likely to be among those hoping for lucrative oil contracts with a new government in Libya. But the cost of the intervention and the unknown agenda of the rebels could mean more losses than gains.
France feels like a winner as the first power to recognize Libya's rebels, the first to bomb the country and now the first in talks with rebel leaders. Foreign Minister Alain Juppe says victory gives him “great satisfaction.”
Corporations in states that voted for the UN intervention in Libya are certainly now rubbing their hands.

Shocker! Oil companies are bidding for oil contracts! Someone call Agent Mulder!
We heard the same thing about Iraq and then they went and sold drilling rights to just about anyone but the US.
Also isn’t it a bit odd that the coalition decided to bomb the crap out of Libya, costing oil companies billions, in order to get access to oil that they already had access to?

The only thing that is proof of is the redistribution of wealth. America the hired strong-arm, to liberate the resources and allow for them to be sold to the Chinese overlords.
Sad I say
