Dude, why did these dumbshits even bother to waste the time on a resolution they don't think will pass? You may already know this, but in case you don't, the u.n. is a clusterfuck. They are very good at spending money but pretty worthless at everything else.
I hope the people of Libya are able to gain their freedom on their own. The u.n. and obama have zero balls and will figure out every way to get out of providing them with assistance...

A proposal to establish a no-fly zone over Libya has been introduced to the U.N. Security Council, though both its chance of passage and effectiveness even if it does pass are very much in doubt.
The resolution would provide political and legal authorization for the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya, strengthen existing economic sanctions -- including a more robust enforcement of an arms embargo -- and expand a list of individuals, organizations and companies that are subject to travel bans and to the freezing of assets from Libya. The draft also calls for a ban on the use of commercial flights to transport mercenaries into the country and other means to end the involvement of foreign fighters.
The move comes as forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi have used airpower and tanks with devastating effect against the rebels, who are losing ground in their battle to unseat the longtime dictator.
"It may prove to be too little too late," says Robert Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "It could be of some assistance in creating humanitarian sanctuaries, but if the goal is to roll back Qaddafi's forces, it is likely to have little military effect, especially with the rebel stronghold of Benghazi on the brink of falling."
Even though the U.S. is now backing the draft Libya resolution, Danin believes the Obama administration should have pushed harder for action much earlier. "Obama should not have called for Qaddafi to step down if the U.S. was not willing to back up that call with a real sense of an ‘or else' ... consequences for failing to step down.”
