Libya now has more than 180 concessions on oil exploration, Shalqam told reporters in Tripoli as British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) visited the country on Thursday. "We are completely open now. We have a new policy, especially regarding the sector of oil," he said.

7. Bullgoose, I agree with you.

Now I see why the Libya deal was so quickly done. I figured there had to be some ulterior motive for this, and here it is. Oil. Isn't this what started all the buddy-buddy action with Mr. Hussein?
