On Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders are reportedly backing away from aggressive plans to limit President Bush’s war authority. On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he wants to delay votes on a measure that would repeal the 2002 war authorization and narrow the mission in Iraq. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she doesn’t support tying war funding to strict training and readiness targets for U.S. troops. A new poll by The Washington Post and ABC News has found that a majority of Americans now support setting a deadline for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq.
