Aljazeera English on the fight for Libya's oil

This 04/05/2011 Aljazeera English clip reports on the government forces in Libya attacking oil installations, something the NATO air war has not been able to prevent. This is a big deal, because much of the optimism for establishing a viable rebel government in eastern Libya has rested on the assumption that they, rather than the government in Tripoli, could get the bulk of the country's oil revenue.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
