Democrats soften stance on Iraq withdrawal

27 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Democrats on Wednesday softened their
demands on the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq ahead of
talks with US President George W. Bush on funding for the
four-year-old war.

Leaders of the new Democratic majority said before a scheduled
meeting with Bush they preferred to negotiate an exit strategy
rather than try to impose a withdrawal timetable fiercely opposed
by the White House.

Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House of Representatives, said the
Democrats were determined to reach out and say, "Mr. President,
we must work together. We must negotiate an approach that will
wind down this war."

Pelosi and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid conspicuously avoided
a demand for the pullout of US troops starting next year that was
contained in a funding bill Bush has sworn to veto.
