Senate moves towards repealing Iraq war authorizations.

The Senate advanced a bipartisan bill to repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for the use of military force in Iraq, setting up a vote on final passage as soon as next week. The bill has 12 Republican co-sponsors among its 41 co-sponsors. The White House said President Biden supports repealing the authorizations, which would have no impact on current U.S. military operations. Opponents of repeal say it could limit U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the region and hamstring the ability to react quickly to national security threats. The bill does not repeal the 2001 authorization for use of force targeting those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks.
