米国はイラク戦争の資金を増加する

米国の上院はイラクおよびアフガニスタンの操作のための後押しされた資金を含む高められた軍出費の$696,000,000,000を(£345十億)、承認した。

手形は議会の両方の家を通り、米国の大統領によってGeorge Bushすぐに署名すると期待される。

イラク戦争のための増加された資金は国からの綴込を支持する民主党員の後で疑いに去年管理した中間選挙の両方の立法家を入った。 党は操作からの完全な回収のための日付に戦争のための増加された資金を結ぶように試みた。

Previous attempts by the party to pass laws containing the condition have failed and the only bill which contained the clause was vetoed by Mr Bush earlier this year.

In addition to $189 billion (£94 billion) in funds for operations in the Middle East, the present bill will increase the pay of servicemen by 3.5 per cent and also sets aside funds for the medical care of veterans.

However, the bill places obstacles in the way of the Bush administration’s plan for setting up a missile defence shield in Europe. The White House hopes to set up interceptor systems in the Czech Republic and Poland to protect the US from missiles launched by rogue states.

The legislation requires the parliaments of the two European countries to give the go-ahead for the proposal and for the defence department to brief Congress about the programme before the release of funds.

Under the US political system, the president must ask Congress to appropriate funds to programmes it wishes to implement.
