The strain on the US armed forces on account of the war fought in Afghanistan and Iraq is visible. With Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates requesting for another $42.3 billion to keep the military pressure up in Iraq and Afghanistan, the funding request by the Bush administration for the year 2008 has touched the all [...]
The tussle between Bush and Democrats in Congress continues. Democrat legislators see a chance to rein in Bush administration on the question of money for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pentagon has asked for $180 billion to keep the action going in these two countries in 2008. Defense secretary Robert Gates has approached Congress [...]
One cannot argue that money plays a major role in determining the US President.
