Kaddafi is in the process of wiping out the brave freedom fighters who attempted to end his harsh rule in Libya. The freedom fighters had hoped for assistance from the USA, but, as I understand it from Republicans, we are broke, so we cannot afford to help in the battle against Kaddafi. The UN needs to step up to the plate!
United Nations (CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council will vote Thursday evening on whether to impose a no-fly zone -- and potentially take other steps -- to try to halt Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's attacks against rebel positions in his country.
The draft the council will vote on includes language stating that "all necessary means" could be used to prevent the "slaughter of civilians," a diplomat said.
The vote is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.
Opposition leaders are eager for U.N. action because of recent gains made by Gadhafi forces during bloody battles and an imminent offensive against Benghazi.
