Obama Wants Another $33 Billion for Wars: This Is Our Chance to Force House of Representatives to Say No and End the Madness
Here's WHAT TO DO.
Here's news from Associated Press:
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration plans to ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record request for $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned.
The administration also plans to tell Congress next month that its central military objectives for the next four years will include winning the current wars while preventing new ones, and its core missions will include both counterinsurgency and counterterror operations.
The administration's Quadrennial Defense Review, the main articulation of U.S. military doctrine, is due in Congress on Feb. 1. Top military commanders were briefed on the document at the Pentagon on Monday and Tuesday. They also received a preview of the administration's budget plans through 2015.
The four-year review outlines six crucial mission areas and spells out capabilities and goals the Pentagon wants to develop. The pilotless drones used for surveillance and attack missions in Afghanistan and Pakistan are a priority, with a goal of speeding up the purchase of new Reaper drones and expansion of Predator and Reaper drone flights through 2013.
The extra $33 billion in 2010 would go mostly toward expansion of the war in Afghanistan. Obama ordered an extra 30,000 troops for that war as part of an overhaul of the war strategy late last year.
The request for that additional funding will be sent to Congress at the same time as the record spending request for next year, making financing the war an especially difficult pill for some of Obama's Democratic allies to swallow.

Stay warm this winter in a black hooded sweatshirt. Order one. Order them by the dozen and donate them to occupations!
DonP Actually we are engaged in two endless wars. We have the invasion of several sovereign nations and we have the domestic war of the voters versus the MIC. The Military can afford to buy better votes from Congress than the voters can so guess which way the votes will go. Oh yeah I will continue to plead with my Congress critters to at least once in ten years to put the fate of the nation ahead of their re-election funding, but as usual we will make about as much difference as we did on the bail out. And yes, I have noticed a upswelling of support for the wars since "HOPE" was elected. We shure got our change, I just can't believe in it.

What you think of as 'news' is just a movie
There's war going on and poverty
While they're feeding you crap about celebrities
The truth will set you free
From global tyranny
