NATO may have ended its operations in Libya, but the Western presence is far from over - with big companies replacing the warplanes. The countries that bombed the oil-rich country are now getting lucrative contracts to rebuild it. RT's Laura Smith adds up the profits of war.

    • Are we starting to get the picture ?????
      This is business as usual!
      Now the world bank and IMF will strike...creating huge debts that can't be paid.
      When are we going to stop this infernal slavery ?
      When are we going to line up these bankers and bring justice to the world ?
      How many more times are we going to allow OUR puppet Government to use the phrase " Human rights" as a excuse for nation building ?

      "Humanitarian" seems to be the catchphrase. This is all tied in to what is happening in Afghanistan with the TAPI pipeline, the Keystone XL reportedly as an export pipeline to China, and China's involvement in Africa as well and competition with them and Russia for the resources. I think by now your (in general) head has to be pretty far down in the sand to not see what this is all about. Rising population, combined with factors causing peak oil, peak water, climate change causing erratic weather, crop failures, etc.and you have the perfect geopolitcal storm and resource /landgrab. And it is always the people who suffer for the greedy agendas of others who wish to control it all.

    • This is neither shocking nor surprising. It only makes sense that those who are now in power would turn to those who helped them get there for assistance.

    • Guess Libya won't start trading oil exclusively for gold either?

      Won't be going back to gold coins as currency...?

      The Libyan people probably won't even have a say over the majority of that "Great Man Made River" or all that water under their own land....

      Oh and that perfect credit score with no debt to the worlds financial institutions out the window, seems they incurred debt by being so violent attacked..

      And all the global elite had to do was "sweeten the pot" a little for those willing to throw their fellow Libyan under the bus, and they got the support they needed....

      What's going to happen if China moves in over here offering our disaffected, disadvantaged dissidents a bigger piece of the pie if they decide to overthrow our government?

    • No surprise here. As usual, bomb it, carve it up for corporations. Iraq redux. There goes their water. And well well, BP and Shell will also profit. This is bs.

      I believe this started with WWII which brought us out of the Great Depression.
      The Marshall Plan was a good idea at the time but now politicians use it as a model for stimulating the economy.
      After all, money is more important than anything, right?

      I have mixed feelings about the Great Manmade River Project which my dad was involved with in the early 1980s.
      If they bring all that water to the surface it will eventually deplete the vast aquifer and evaporate, adding to global warming (and possibly earthquakes).
      A better idea is to tap it at the sources where the water is needed rather than build a river across North Africa.
