There is going to be no land invasion. Just because some people in Libya think there may be, doesn't mean there is going to be. There is going to be no land invasion of Syria either, but that doesn't make for lively debate on here does it?
Although if Turkey has to keep dealing with Syria's nonsense along their border, there may be some fisticuffs to come between those two nations.

"Take over the oil fields".
This argument is so LAME. It was used for the Iraq war and as everyone has seen, gas is higher and more of the oil contracts have gone to non -NATO/US entities than to them. Why say thisd again? FAIL.
Libya has oil yes, but its not like they are a top 5 producer.

You believe the western news networks who always lie about every war
I think CNN would proudly welcome you.
The Invasion in Libya is a clear Regime Change which in the end NATO will take over the oil fields and the water projects Gadaffi has been working on.

Bank on it. Especially with Chinese and Russian interests in the area.
Not going to happen. I'll wager a years salary on that. There will be no US ground invasion of Libya or Syria. And given our NATO allies can't really field a formidable invasion force amongst themselves. So unless Obama can find a way to get around the War Powers Act (which members from both parties are calling him on as of late) this will be an issue. If he were to insist that US ground forces enter Libya or Syria, he may well be setting himself up for impeachment. He is excusing the current bombings as part of supporting our "NATO allies".
Not gonna happen. Stop worrying.
Russian Envoy: NATO Preparing Libyan Ground Invasion
Dmitry Rogozin told RIA Novosti on Friday that NATO is probably preparing a ground invasion to overthrow the Gaddafi regime in Libya. Rogozin is Russia’s NATO envoy.
“I think that now we are witnessing the preparation stage of a ground operation which NATO, or at least some of its members… are ready to begin,” Rogozin said.

Iraq was about the oil
about security contracts and geopolitics and handsome profits for varied halliburton services, and creating a Western military presence to challenge both Russia and Asia... the list goes on and on and on. It is about FAR more than 'oil'.

Well, if we profited so greatly off of Iraq, I've yet to see it. At least as far as cheap oil is concerned.edit on 2-7-2011 by Darkrunner because: (no reason given)

So you think it was all about liberation of the Iraqi people and not about what the US would gain in an invasion? Yeah, invasion, not liberation.
Hmm. You didn't address the link. You said it was all about oil. Now shut the hell up. And Time isn't exactly Fox News.
Sources please.
