Democrats Will Push To Revoke Iraq Authorization

According to the BBC, Senate Democrats will now try to revoke the 2002 "Authorization to Use Force in Iraq," which granted to President Bush a mandate to attack Iraq.  The Democrats will attempt to replace the 2002 Authorization with a narrower mandate in light of the knowledge that there were no WMD's in Iraq.  The BBC article does not say who will be sponsoring the legislation.  This comes on the heels of two Republican filibusters of resolutions voicing skepticism of the President's "troop surge" plan.  The difference here is that the revocation of the authorization is legislation, not a mere non-binding resolution.  Yet, it will still need 60 votes to clear procedural hurdles and reach a final vote.
