kerry, are you serious?

anyway, the cia does have people over there, for months now. and yes, there is oil. (so "there will be blood", as upton sinclair once said)

and yes, there are some mujadeen involved.

but, ghaddaffi (however you spell it) is done.

he tried to buy everyone off a few months back, but the egyptian thing kind of ignited a lot. (or was it the tunisia thing?)

anyway, did that help?
