This is a literal repost from a thread in GD:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=761560&mesg_id=761560Poor, untrained, harmless, civilian rebels suddenly moving forward to capture heavily-defended towns supported by overwhelming "air only" bombing, and now selling oil? In the middle of a death struggle the rebels had time to set up a central bank? Overnight? Red hot bridges for sale!
Notice how rapidly the central bank structure for this cash flow was put in place. This is so wrong, on so many levels. The oil still belongs to a still sovereign nation.

How convenient that the US Treasury had the foresight to put this into place
Nothing was planned in advance. Just a group of spontaneous ragtag rebels with keen financial foresight. That's all. Nothing to see here folks, move along. It's strictly a humanitarian effort.
Red hot bridges! Get em right here!. Red hot bridges for sale!
And all this while the European media is busily uncovering the suspect role French Intelligence played in getting this spontaneous *revolution* going.
