Kadhafi Criticizes President Obama on Libya War!

In his letter to the US Congress Kadhafi has written to praise its criticism of Obama's NATO raids on Libya! Kadhafi comments on the growing debate among legislators over whether Obama has usurped his constitutional authority by committing US forces to the current conflict without the authorization of lawmakers. The Libyan ruler has watched the growing debate among legislators with "great interest", and continues: "Libya is counting on the US Congress for its continued investigation of the military activities of NATO and its "allies", in action which has already killed over 700 Libyan civilians. Such unauthorized intervention is inappropriate, and illegal interference in what is essentially a Libyan civil war. We therefore urge a ceasefire, and the funding of humanitarian relief and assistance in fostering and furthering accommodation between the internal parties within Libya, that are currently at odds with each other. Kadhafi said his government, which has been plagued by defections under the escalating NATO assault, is ready to sit down with opposition figures in peace talks led by the United States in order to stop any further destruction. Note: The White House has been under rising pressure from congressional critics demanding "details" about US goals in Libya, and questioning the likely costs and duration of the campaign: The House of Representatives last week passed a symbolic resolution chiding Obama for not seeking congressional approval for US involvement, and giving him until June 17 to answer those questions, and MORE!
