EU President Van Rompuy lies yet again!

The following is from the regular newsletter from Roger Helmer MEP (Conservative), received this morning:

A preposterous and deliberate lie

(April 5th): I've just got back from a plenary session where Council President ("all the charisma of a wet rag") Rumpy Pumpy, came out with a proposition which fairly took my breath away.  Recounting the EU's recent achievements, he said "The EU moved decisively on the Libyan problem.  But for prompt EU intervention, there would have been a massacre in Benghazi".   Honest.  I'm not making this up.

It may be unparliamentary language, but I was so shocked I shouted "Liar" at the top of my voice.  The Libya initiative was a bilateral, intergovern­men­t­al deal between Cameron and Sarkozy, who managed to bring in a (rather reluctant) president Obama, plus NATO and the UN.  It had nothing to do with Brussels.  To describe this as "prompt EU intervention" is beyond parody.  But it gives a chilling insight into the Brussels mindset.
