Reid Backs Feingold’s Effort to Cut Off Iraq Funds

I absolutely oppose this. 

Washington - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will announce today that he has endorsed a plan by Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold to end funding for the Iraq war by March 31 next year.

The measure goes well beyond the target withdrawal date that the Senate narrowly approved last week as part of an emergency war spending bill, and it is part of what Feingold describes as a legislative strategy by Democrats of steadily ratcheting up their anti-war proposals.

But at least it’s a serious proposal that is within the confines of the Senate’s constitutional authority.
