MAY 17: Audio Discussion of Iraq and Afghanistan Supplemental Spending 2008

Don’t lose the forest for the trees.

Congress is now considering President Bush’s request for an additional $145 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through September 30, 2008. The House Armed Services Committee is including these funds in the Defense Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 2008, which runs from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008. Of this, $142 billion will be for the military and $3 billion will be for the State Department.

President Bush submitted this request on February 5, the same date on which he requested $93 billion for the wars for this year’s budget and $482 billion for the regular baseline military budget for FY 2008 (a 62% increase over the baseline military budget in 2001).

Ross Martini Eiler, Ron Durham, Dan Pearson and Neil Brideau visited Sen Obama’s office on February 5th and demand a commitment from the Senator to stand against supplemental funding of the Iraq War.

The 4 read letters aloud from Iraqi civilians, U.S. soldiers, and the Sermon on the Mount. All 4 were arrested and charged with criminal trespass. Below is the audio of that visit.
