This only shows what someone (an analyst ?) in the State Department thought were the French Motives for Overthrowing Qaddafi (one overthrows a ruler, government, not a whole country).
Whether he was correct or not isn't very easy to establish, given the absolute lack of supporting information on most of these points.
Re-asserting the position of the French military is far fetched, for a president that cut its budget and size very significantly. Similarly, claims about influence do not seem particularly credible given the utter lack of follow up and French presence in the country after Qaddafi's death.
The only credible point really is c., a desire to improve his popularity at home.
