Democrats inch toward war funding amid budget endgame
Democrats in Congress signal readiness to provide additional funding for Iraq and Afghanistan before year end. A two step plan may see the House pass a broad spending bill without Iraq money next week, while the Senate adds the funds to avert a GOP filibuster. Leaders stress optics of a deal to avoid political backlash and keep Bush’s stance intact, with figures around 50 to 70 billion sought for Iraq and Afghanistan operations and potential strings on withdrawal timelines.
