Hillary Clinton says U.S. is trying to avoid perception of an oil grab in Libya

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tells the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the U.S. has been cautious about sending the military because it wants to avoid perceptions that it has a plan to 'invade for oil.' Also, Washington wants to respect the Libyan insurgency's desire to oust Moammar Kadafi on its own, she says.
