Republican Bill to disapprove Libyan War gathers Momentum

Barack Hussein Obama has clearly violated the War Powers act. Rather than take him to task, Speaker John Boehner and his Eunuchs have bent over and let Obama does what he wants. Now finally a brave Republican is taking a stand against this idiotic intervention. The GOP leadership has postponed a vote, on fears it will pass.

A House Republican is gathering fast support for a resolution expressing disapproval of the U.S. military intervention in Libya, raising the possibility of a rare congressional rebuke of President Obama on foreign policy.

Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) introduced a one-page bill Thursday that says the House “does not approve United States intervention in Libya.” Turner, a member of the Armed Services Committee, has already garnered 63 co-sponsors, he told The Hill, making the legislation a possible alternative to a measure offered by anti-war Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) that would mandate an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces.

Rising opposition to the Libyan operation has taken GOP leaders by surprise, and they were forced to scrap a vote on the Kucinich bill on Wednesday over concerns it might have passed.

I salute Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio)for bringing this to a vote. It will be symbolic since the President is CIC. However, at least it’;s sending him a message.
