This story tells you everything you need to know about the sad-sack stooges NATO left in charge after the glorious campaign to bring freedom and democracy to Libya three years ago.
They don't control the oil terminals. They don't control the militias. They don't control their own parliament.
They don't govern.
What are they doing other than organizing the next "donor conference?"

Libya two years on; the oil is flowing but where's the money going?
According to this report from the US Energy Information Administration oil production in Libya in 2012 virtually drew even with what it was before the NATO intervention. That would mean gross oil revenues of about 50 billion dollars.
Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of the beginning of the so-called revolution that ended with the NATO-sanctioned murder of Colonel Gaddafi. That means we're being treated to a spate of analyses in the media.
Here's a sample from Chris Stephen at The Guardian. Seems that the NATO installed and democratically "elected" government has made a success of restoring oil production and made a shambles of everything else. A year and a half after Gaddafi the government has yet to organize trash collection or basic policing services.
The Libyan economy is "on its knees" we are told.
So where is the money going?
