From Pravda: This might have a little more the truth to why Gaddafi is being taken out

LP -Gaddafi is not a good man he engaged in terrorism against this country but what is really behind the attack on him. Why is it all over our media. In 1973, Gaddafi partially nationalized part of his oil industry. These companies have never forgotten that and when the opportunity presented itself they used their armies and their bombs to help take out Gaddafi. You can only imagine is how much they'd  like to take out Cuba too. This sets an example to future strongmen not to take on these forces. Hopefully, the government they will install in there will be one that plays ball with its new oil company overlords.

The Libyan leader proposed the nationalisation of U.S. oil companies, as well as those of UK, Germany, Spain, Norway, Canada and Italy in 2009.
On January 25, 2009, Muammar Al Gaddafi announced that his country was studying the nationalisation of foreign companies due to lower oil prices.
“The oil-exporting countries should opt for nationalisation because of the rapid fall in oil prices. We must put the issue on the table and discuss it seriously,” said Gaddafi.
“Oil should be owned by the State at this time, so we could better control prices by the increase or decrease in production,” said the Libyan leader.
These statements have worried the main foreign companies operating in Libya: Anglo-Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, U.S. ExxonMobil, Hess Corp., Marathon Oil, Occidental Petroleum and ConocoPhillips, the Spanish Repsol, Germany’s Wintershall, Austria’s OMV , Norway’s Statoil, Eni and Canada’s Petro Canada.
In 2008, the Libyan state oil company, National Oil, prepared a report on the subject in which officials suggested modifying the production-sharing agreements with foreign companies in order to increase state revenues.
As a result of these contract changes, Libya gained 5.4 billion dollars in oil revenues.
