Washington (CNN) -- The Republican-controlled House of Representatives delivered a mixed message on America's role in the NATO-led Libya campaign Friday, opposing a resolution expressing support for the war while also voting down a bill restricting American involvement in the conflict. The first measure -- similar to legislation introduced in the Senate by Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona -- was backed by the White House. It was defeated 123-295, with Republicans overwhelmingly opposing the measure and Democrats voting more narrowly in favor of it. The second measure was strongly supported by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other top GOP leaders. It was defeated 180-238, with Democrats largely voting no as Republicans voted yes by a slimmer margin.

By Associated Press and Reuters Reporter Three million subscribers are set to be dropped from TV cable giant Comcast if its $45.2 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable gets the green light. The epic deal, which would combine the nation's top two cable TV companies, trumps a proposal from Charter Communications to buy Time Warner Cable for about $38 billion. If regulators approve the mega-merger, Comcast will sell off three million subscribers so that their combined customer base of 30 million represents just under 30 percent of the U.S. pay television video market. Some commentators say the planned divestment is to avoid public scrutiny, with fears the union of the country's most powerful cable firms would not be in the public interest, Los Angeles Times reported.
