Another battle for oil

THE news that Libyan “rebels” are working with the Americans to restart production from the oil wells they have seized to sell back to them has only been reported in recent oil industry journals.

Are we supposed to believe that the “rebels” bought their machine guns, rocket launchers and other sophisticated weaponry from the local convenience store?

And what’s the difference between “insurgents” and “rebels” other than one is attacking US puppet regimes and the other the legitimate government of an independent oil state?
