Gaddafi nearly has no oil

Dozens of opposition fighters surrounded Libya’s last functioning oil refinery yesterday and laid siege to about 100 government troops, part of a push that brought them closer to seizing this strategic western city. A rebel victory in Zawiya could be a turning point in the six-month-old war and leave Gaddafi nearly cornered in his increasingly isolated stronghold of Tripoli, the capital, just 30 miles to the east along the Mediterranean coast. I just know that if Gaddafi has no oil, it's almost over for that nutjob because the rebels will have all the oil and potentially all the money. I hope they don't then use that oil to pollute because the last thing the war-torn country needs is another Deepwater Horizon. And besides, Gaddafi is somewhat disadvantaged because over the period of his 42-year-old rule, that bellend deliberately kept Libya's military relatively weak out of as-yet-unfounded fears of a military coup. And I hope the Republic of China takes back all the commie-controlled lands one day.
