House Votes Down Authorization of Libya War, Continues Funding 
---------------------------------------------------------------



President Obama's military plans in Libya were dealt a setback Friday
when the Republican-dominated House of Representatives voted down an
authorization for Obama to have the U.S. participate in the Libya
conflict. The final vote was 295 to 123. The website Politico described
the vote as a, "historic rejection of a commander-in-chief at war." But
in another vote, the House did not agree to cut off funding for military
operations.
