Senate Votes to Give Bush More War Funds

The AP reports that funding the war isn't too controversial:

The Senate voted Friday to give President Bush $50 billion more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. military efforts against terrorism, money that would push total spending for the operations beyond $350 billion.

In a 97-0 vote, the GOP-controlled Senate signed off on the money as part of a $445 billion military spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1. The measure would also put restrictions on the treatment of detainees who are suspected terrorists - a provision that has drawn a White House veto threat and demonstrated a willingness by Republican lawmakers to challenge Bush.

Democrats and Republicans all united in spending even more money.It's the kind of unity you might get in a city of Chicago council vote or Castro's Cuba.
