House To Vote Next Week On Libya War Resolution -GOP Aide
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES ^ | Siobhan Hughes

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on a resolution that would require U.S. President Barack Obama to withdraw U.S. armed forces from military operations in Libya, the biggest test yet of congressional support for the two-month-old intervention.

An aide to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) said that the resolution would come up for a vote next week. The resolution is written by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio), who has been opposed to the intervention since it began in March.

This **** HAS to be stopped.

This thing in Libya is about Soros wanting to control that $5T which Libya represents

George Soros and Bork Obunga are trying to perpetrate a bank robbery in broad daylight and using American military assets to do it.

As Ellen Brown noted:

Another anomaly involves the official justification for taking up arms against Libya. Supposedly it’s about human rights violations, but the evidence is contradictory. According to an article on the Fox News website on February 28:

As the United Nations works feverishly to condemn Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi for cracking down on protesters, the body’s Human Rights Council is poised to adopt a report chock-full of praise for Libya’s human rights record.

The review commends Libya for improving educational opportunities, for making human rights a “priority” and for bettering its “constitutional” framework. Several countries, including Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia but also Canada, give Libya positive marks for the legal protections afforded to its citizens — who are now revolting against the regime and facing bloody reprisal.

Whatever might be said of Gaddafi’s personal crimes, the Libyan people seem to be thriving. A delegation of medical professionals from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus wrote in an appeal to Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin that after becoming acquainted with Libyan life, it was their view that in few nations did people live in such comfort:

[Libyans] are entitled to free treatment, and their hospitals provide the best in the world of medical equipment. Education in Libya is free, capable young people have the opportunity to study abroad at government expense. When marrying, young couples receive 60,000 Libyan dinars (about 50,000 U.S. dollars) of financial assistance. Non-interest state loans, and as practice shows, undated. Due to government subsidies the price of cars is much lower than in Europe, and they are affordable for every family. Gasoline and bread cost a penny, no taxes for those who are engaged in agriculture. The Libyan people are quiet and peaceful, are not inclined to drink, and are very religious.

They maintained that the international community had been misinformed about the struggle against the regime. “Tell us,” they said, “who would not like such a regime?”

In other words, Khadaffi's government is arguably the best the slammite world has to offer and a man would pretty much have to be deranged to want to rebel against it. Khadaffi was on the edge of pulling all of Africa out from under the IMF and BIS and that apparently was too much for the NWO crowd.

The idea of those slammite-brohood fools creating a central bank prior to having a country pretty much tells the story: Soros simply told them that if they played ball with him, he'd put them in charge of Libya.

They will probably vote to help Obama.

Thanks! I assume that if Jesus Christ and Satan were to return to Earth right now and announce sign-up programs, that Bork Obunga would walk straight over to Satan and ask how to join. I mean, he’d bow first and THEN ask how to sign up...

Leonard Wibberley, the author of THE MOUSE THAT ROARED, forsaw this idiotic madness coming way back in 1955.

Having the US attack, then hand over billions and billions in aid, is now turning into a big business for muslim countries.

There seems to be support on both sides to end it. There is a related article at Washington Post, for some reason I can't open it. Summary from Lucianne link

I’m hoping for the best on this. I think the “Boys “ just might be starting to hit their stride and are gonna start to show us stuff. Today they voted for no troops in Libya maybe they can shut the whole thing down. Also slap Obama in the process.

This should have been voted and passed weeks ago, and then the articles of impeachment the next day.
