Maria Golovnia: Libya Rebels say West is Failing Insurgents!

According to Maria Golovnia, and edited by David Stamp, Libya's rebel oil chief accused the West on Saturday of failing to deliver urgent financial aid (blood money, for the murder of innocent civilians) because he has by now run completely out of cash after months of hard fighting. Speaking to Reuters in a rare interview in the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi, oil and finance minister Ali Tarhouni said all crude oil production had now come to a standstill due to damage caused by the fighting. "We don't have any cash", and cash is what this war is all about! "We are running out of everything", he said. "It's a complete FAILURE!" Either the "Western nations don't understand, or they don't care!" Sorry about that, Ali, but they really, really, really don't care, unless you can bring the oil out of the ground yourself! He added: "We are not producing any oil because of the damage. I don't expect us to produce oil any time soon! The refineries have no crude oil, so they are not working." Ali, my response to you is to find another sponsor for your destruction of Libya! Asked which companies he was talking to, he named Germany's Wintershall and France's Total. "We need help, we said we respect and abide by all contracts. The only enemy that I have is Gaddafi and his killers and thugs," he said. In terms of commerce and companies I have no enemies." There is an old German proverb, which goes: "Wer sich auf andere verlaesst, der ist verlassen", which means "he who depends on others is lost!
