O Senate dos E.U. aprovou $696 bilhões (£345 bilhão) na despesa militar aumentada, including fundos impulsionados para operações em Iraq e em Afeganistão.
A conta passou através de ambas as casas do Congress e espera-se ser assinada logo pelo presidente George Bush dos E.U.
Financiar aumentado para a guerra de Iraq foi posto na dúvida após as democratas, que favorecem um pull-out do país, fêz exame do controle de ambas as casas legislativas em eleições midterm o ano passado. O partido tinha tentado amarrar financiar aumentado para a guerra a uma data para uma retirada cheia das operações.
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.
