WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned - a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration's Democratic allies.

All liberals together now; Obama is a warmonger.

He's just finishing what Bush started. Your political blindness is disturbing, yet never surprising.

I suppose it's refreshing that at least he asks Congress instead of hiding wartime spending?

Disappointing, because I want out of the ME ASAP, but not surprising.

Because he wants more money doesn't necessarily mean he wants to stay any longer. He might have just underestimated what it would cost to meet his timetable.

Bush was a warmongerer. Shit, that's not right.

Bush was a warmongerer. Damn it! One more time.

Bush was a warmongerer.

Nope, sorry, as much as I try, I can't get passed blaming Bush for being in those wars.

Actually i'm just having a great time watching you liberals pretend Obama spending 708$ Billion on the military doesn't bother you.

It bothers us that he has to spend this money to get Dubya's **** out of Iraq.

It does bother me. However, it has to be finished. An abrupt cessation and withdrawal is not the answer.

The extra $33 billion in 2010 would mostly go toward the 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.

I've supported the war in Afghanistan for years. Am I supposed to be upset?

To be fair, you have a point. Osama bin Laden's actions brought us to war in Afghanistan.

The same as Saddam's actions in Iraq led us to war there.

Disarmament compliance is not a reason *to* go to war, skippy.

Varus' version of crazy gets boring too quickly. His "nuh uh!" attitude and one liners don't really spice things up as much as gbaji's rantings. Although, Varus and gbaji are really just two puppets on the hands of the same person.

Don't worry, you aren't alone. A lot of people can't seem to get past blaming Bush for everything that goes wrong. Scapegoats are fun.

No, not everything. Only the things he's directly responsible for.

Generally a scapegoat doesn't refer to the guy that actually did the thing you're looking for a scapegoat for.

Or did some other president ask for congress's approval for sending troops?

They are. Too bad it only applies when it's someone who's not at fault though.

Bush is responsible for going into Iraq and he's responsible for the mess that is Afghanistan for not putting all of his resources into there and instead investing in Iraq.

Breaking the ceasefire was enough of a reason.

Enough of a reason to kill over four thousand US servicemen? And cripple tens of thousands more? Which technicality of the resolution are you now touting as this major threat to America?
