U.S. Senate introduces resolution chastises Obama on Libya

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday introduced a resolution criticizing President Barack Obama for failing to consult Congress on the military mission in Libya, as the White House scrambled to contain the fallout with Congress.

The resolution was co-sponsored by Democratic Senator Jim Webb and his Republican colleague Bob Corker, both members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The measure rebukes Obama for failing to offer a good argument for the use of armed forces against the Libya.
