Oil for gold?

First of all, I'm sorry to intrude and I did look for an offtopic forum, so I posted under new members but...

it's hard for people outside of Libya to tell what is going on. So I thought I'd ask directly.

For example, I was looking to see if the rebels have tried trading their oil for gold and whether this is why they are not getting support, presumably feeling that dinars printed in the UK are not valid payment.

Can you shed any light on what's going on in the country? Have any African leaders offered to trade gold for oil, or even Venezuela?

Oil export had been stopped since the beging of the revolution. Even if it resumes they wont trad it for gold. libya has more gold than most countries and they dont need to get more ; the money that was printed in uk will be sent to NTC very soon since NTC is the only legitimate goverment of libya now.
And when we get rid of Gaddafi I am sure we will stop dealing with all Africans and Drug producing countries in south america since they are all piece of shit.

Despite all the lead and iron flying around in Libya, there's still more life on this bored than on the UAE one!
