As much as I support the criticism, it would have been nice to see the GOP show such sentiment when Bush was invading countries and sending hundreds of thousands of troops into wars that we didn't need. What a bunch of frauds.
The House of Representatives has voted down a measure that would have granted congressional consent for American involvement in military action in Libya.
But the House also rejected a subsequent bill, which threatened to halt US air strikes in the embattled country by cutting off funds for military operations.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed the House's decision not to cut the funding.
"We are gratified that the House has decisively rejected efforts to limit funding for the Libyan mission," Clinton told reporters at the State Department.
While the first vote is unlikely to affect US involvement in the NATO-led campaign, the rejection of congressional approval represents a symbolic blow to US President Barack Obama.
