Libya: Rebel and NATO attack on oil city repulsed

The Devil is in the details, buy I think we know who the "PRESSURED" is in forcing Italy's hand. THE USUAL SUSPECTS :rolleyes:

"To add insult to injury, Berlusconi says he never agreed to the aggression and was pushed to participate," said al-Mahmoudi, referring to Berlusconi's July 7 comments that the Italian parliament forced his hand.
"Well, if he says he was pressured to attack Libya, then I was pressured by the Libyan people to cut ties with Italy," al-Mahmoudi said.

Italy Pledges Support for Libya Rebels
ISTANBUL—Italy on Friday said it would immediately release €100 million ($141.4 million) in credit to Libya's opposition government at a meeting of the international contact group for the war-torn nation.
The offer came after Turkey opened the one-day meeting in Istanbul by asking countries to loan the National Transitional Council a percentage of Libyan funds frozen under United Nations resolutions.

Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said a contract for the €100 million would be signed "in the next few days," and that his country was in a position to offer up to €400 million($565.6 million) in total.

"Turkey have made an announcement in this respect. The U.S. are about to make an announcement and I hope France will also join us," Mr. Frattini said. Turkey has pledged total of $300 million.
