Guttenberg: "door to door with Gaddafi. Germany wants to participate in Libya's economic miracle. " ( Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 04.27.2009 )

"Libya sought after than ever. The old revolutionary leader Gaddafi has become lenient with his decision announced in late 2003, international terrorism and renounce his weapons of mass destruction to trust the Americans to store programs that his country made ​​the dream of the sleepless nights plagued by recession, entrepreneurs in the world.

After forty years of dictatorship of the Green Book and fourteen years of sanctions was one of Libya, the fourth-largest oil supplier in Germany, the most backward n [Note: FALSE]. African countries, but it also sits on huge oil and gas reserves and has prior to the collapse in oil prices magnificently because deserves.

At eleven percent of the Libyan economy will be growth in recent times and also growing as well, but where rule almost everywhere else red. Money is in Libya during the crisis more than enough and now the will to use it for the benefit of the country -. If only to the existing power relationships to stabilize dozens of billions wants the Libyan leadership each year in the maximization of energy to . to the utilization of solar energy in the complete renovation of the infrastructure, building schools and hospitals and put it in the industrialization of the country's Foreign Investment and corresponding know-how are therefore very welcome - as long as everything remains under control of the Gaddafi clan. (...)

The German Wintershall AG about, now reinforced by the partner, Gazprom, has been drilled there since 1958 after the high-quality oil, and this even during the sanctions are not abandoned. "

Foreign Minister Steinmeier will be examined several times for help in the training of police officers. (SZ, 04.13.2008 )

"The Focus reported in the autumn of 2004, the head of Libya's foreign intelligence agency the former head of the chancellery Steinmeier asked for help. During his tenure as foreign minister in 2006 after all the son Gaddafi and Libya's ambassador to Berlin had made ​​representations.

SPD parliamentary leader Peter Struck said that the training of Libyan security forces by German police and soldiers had nothing to complain about. It was good, 'that we work with a country like Libya - in the fight against international terrorism', he said the same sheet. Any State which has stated its willingness to fight against international terrorism must get German support. "

BASF subsidiary Wintershall in Libya active ( Focus v. 15.11.2006 ):

"The Group has so far invested € 1.3 billion in oil production in the country and now produces seven percent of Libyan oil. A further 700 million euros will follow in the next five years. Zwitserloot speaks of Libya and Tripoli as a "second home" and says: 'The competitive advantage that we have here on the doorstep of Europe, you have to use it.' "

"Steinmeier ensnared Gaddafi" ( Focus v. 11/15/2006 )

"Assured Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi over the interest in working more closely with the oil-rich desert state. Had also been noticed in Europe that has changed much in Libya, Steinmeier said on Wednesday during a meeting with Gaddafi in his official residence 'Bab El Azizia' in Tripoli. (...) Libya is the fourth largest oil supplier in Germany and covers 12 to 14 percent of Germany's oil needs. "

Blair: "Blair, Gaddafi and the BP Oil deal" ( v. Telegraph 20.5.2007 )

Blair and Gaddafi called themselves when they meet in the desert tent affably by his first name, and Blair, Gaddafi called "reliable ally." The British prime minister, said the article was accompanied by BP representatives, who could sign a contract to drill 17 new oil wells. The wells were worth 13 billion pounds in Zuklunft.

The article praised in 2003 as a turning point in terms of Gaddafi: He had given his entire inventory of weapons of mass destruction and British American experts and disclosed a warehouse of illegal chemical weapons. He also took over responsibility for the crash (1988) of the Pan Am flight 173 over Lockerbie, upheld the extradition of two Libyans required, and the victims of the attack on the Berlin Dikothek "La Belle" compensation paid in the billions.

Sarkozy: Here a video of Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam tells how the French president had it not been officially invited a month ago, Sarkozy had wanted him to sell fighter planes and flattered him ("He was like a pussy-cat"). Now he leads up like a tiger. He knows the game, it was about oil, gas contracts. In addition, Libya has paid Sarkozy election campaign that he would prove the basis of transfer documents.

Was that perhaps the reason why the dwarf of Paris, who is facing elections, the first called for the bombing of Libya and then carried out?
