A move to shift responsibility for war

Unable to attract enough war-weary Republicans, Senate Democrats are abandoning calls for a full withdrawal of US troops from Iraq as the chamber resumes debating the war this week.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Democrats will push for a deadline of June 2008 and make a "stronger effort" to cut off war funding rather than calling for an immediate withdrawal to begin, according to an article in Wednesday's Washington Post.

3. The link is up and working

4. The text apparently says the opposite of the title, that the bill will put a deadline and try to

cut funds and drop the Levin bill that was more compromised. Which is it: a stronger bill or a weaker bill?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Democrats will push for a deadline of June 2008 and make a "stronger effort" to cut off war funding rather than calling for an immediate withdrawal to begin, according to an article in Wednesday's Washington Post.

"It's all definite timelines," Reid said.

The move appears part of a political maneuver by Reid, who, speaking to reporters Tuesday, indicated he wouldn't allow Bush 'wiggle-room,' by bringing forth an amendment by Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) whose bill calls for end of combat by summer 2008.
