The House of Representatives is expected to officially register its disapproval of U.S. involvement in the -led Libya campaign Friday, voting to restrict funding for America’s role in the mission.

The Republican-sponsored bill, which would effectively prohibit U.S. offensive operations such as drone strikes, is seen as a sharp rebuke of Barack ’s policy in the war-torn North African country.

It would limit the U.S. role to non-hostile actions such as search and rescue, aerial refueling, operational planning, intelligence gathering, and reconnaissance.

The bill is considered to have little chance of clearing the Democratic-controlled Senate.
