BS................. So where is all the money that UK sequestrated from Libyan sovreign account ? Oh yeah it is resting in British Government accounts.

There was no bloodbath planned but hey its up there with WMD's in Iraq.

Uk helped the introduction of open air slave markets, mass killings and robbery, because Libya requested the Oil companies paid a couple of billion more from their super profits with oil at $100 barrel and Sarkozy was warned that the millions he got from Libya for his election campaign would be publicised.

Libya functioned as a country before UK/France supported Islamic fundamentalists in their takeover of the country. No surprise that it was benghazi area that were supplying Fundies into Iraq to attack British and US Forces, soon as they went home they became UK/US friends to overthrow Gadaffi and destroy Libya. Really worked very well didn't it.
