versus

* TOPIX/PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > GADDAFI LOOKS TO WEST ["Friends" = Allies, other "Moderates"] FOR SOLUTIONS TO LIBYA CRISIS.

Again, the US = US-NATO/EU + Muslim Allies may not be in any rush to get rid of Gaddafi due to fear of Radical Islam coming to dominate the post-Jasmine Middle East. They need Gaddafi to offset or hedge agz the LT covert Radical Islamist threat to ME democracy [political jihad]; + the Rebels to offset or hedge agz Gaddafi per se vee reforms.

LIBYUH > Pragmatically, iff EGYPT is ultimately lost to Radical Islam, + the latter attempts to cut off in part or in whole Egyptian energy exports + Suez Canal access to the US-West, LIbya will be an alternate site for diverting Oil-Gas + other land-based exports to same.

LOSS OF EGYPT + SUEZ CANAL ACCESS WILL FORCE DIRECT US-NATO, UNSC MIL INTERVENTION AGZ BOTH EGYPT + VERY LIKELY SOMALIA = EAST AFRICA [security of Red Sea, Arabian Gulf maritime links].

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > BETTER TO KNOW | REVELATIONS OF CIA ACTIONS IN COTE D'IVOIRE BY A FRENCH AGENT.

Coversion + subversion + diversion for Ivory Coast Coffee + Cocoa = ????
