議会はブッシュのヨーロッパのミサイルのプロジェクトに資金を切ることによって打撃を渡す
土曜日、2007年7月28日
? 二党派委員会は全面的な防衛費を切る ワシントン州のEwen MacAskill
ヨーロッパのミサイル防衛システムを確立するGeorge Bushの計画は議会委員会が資金を切ったときに大きい後退に昨日苦しんだ。家の予算委員会は$139mを切った(か。ブッシュ政権によってがヨーロッパのミサイルのプロジェクトの予備作業のためにほしい$310mからの69.5m)。 チェコスロバキア共和国のレーダーシステムのための資金を承認したが、ポーランドにミサイルの遮断システム確立することを要求された$139mの氏を防衛システムの最も論争の的になる部分を切ったブッシュ。 さらに、委員会はミサイルの計画の米国基盤の部分からのそれ以上の$159mを切った。 ブッシュ政権が「これによってが価値がある」私達を確信させることを得たことをジョンMurtha、委員会の議長は、言った。 修正された予算に付したレポートでは委員会は言った: 「プログラム」を囲む不確実性があるヨーロッパの部品に完全な資金を提供することは早期である。 議会移動はイギリスは米国が提案されたミサイル防衛システムの一部としてヨークシャのMenwithの丘の航空基地を改善するように同意したとDes Browne、国防長官が水曜日に、言ったと同時に来た。 英本国は北のヨークのFylingdalesで既にレーダーシステムを繋ぎ止める承認してしまった。 ブッシュ氏はポーランドのサイロに10の障害物のミサイルを置きたいと思う言米国の要求が核兵器プログラムを押し進めているイランに対して守るために緊急の場合必要とされる。 予算削減は委員会が$459bnに今立つ、全面的な国防予算から切った$3.5bnの部分である。 予算の減少と同様、議会はイラクから戻っている兵士のための未来派プログラムからの改善されたヘルスケアのような即時の心配に優先順位を、移して、アフガニスタンは兵士および海兵隊員の、上昇、およびStryker重装甲車のようなイラクのための大いに必要な兵器類を、支払う。 投票のための下院本会議に委員会の皮をむかれた予算が来週行くが、渡されるのはほとんど確実である。 The House and Senate have questioned whether establishing the system in eastern Europe is sensible given the extent of the opposition it has aroused in Russia. They also question its technical feasibility and the failure of other Nato countries to commit fully to it. Republicans on the committee joined the Democrats in voting for the bill. Mr Murtha said Congress was trying to change the direction of the defence department across the board, not just on missile defence. The Senate is not scheduled to vote on the budget until after the August recess. While the Democrats and Republicans are divided over proposals to withhold war spending for Iraq, legislators from both parties have expressed scepticism about the European missile defence proposal. Mr Bush could veto congressional changes but may be reluctant to do this, given he might have to also use it in September in the Iraq war funding row. Bill Young, the most senior Republican on the committee, said: “I don’t think this bill is subject to a veto.” He said it had been designed for quick passage. Even if Mr Bush was to block it, the extent of congressional opposition will leave doubts over the European missile defence system, signalling that if the Democrats take the White House next year the plan would be scrapped. The congressional opposition will also embolden Russia to maintain its opposition. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, ordered a Kremlin meeting of senior military and intelligence officers on Wednesday to build up the armed forces and intelligence gathering to confront what he said was a new US global threat. “The United States is becoming more active in pushing forward plans to deploy new bases in Eastern Europe,” he said. Mr Putin rejects US claims that the missile system is directed not against Russia but a possible attack from Iran. He has suggested an alternative plan in which the interceptor missiles would be based in either Russia or a sympathetic neighbour but the White House is cool about this. The Democrats have attached amendments to the spending bill, such as withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and closure of the Guant?namo detention centre in Cuba within 60 days, but these have no chance of being accepted by the Senate. A separate vote on Iraq withdrawal is scheduled for September when Democrats may be able to win over some Republican senators. The vote will follow a report by the US commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, and the US ambassador, Ryan Crocker.
