House Approves $128B for Iraq, Afghan Wars
------------------------------------------



In other news from Washington, the House has approved a new spending
bill including $128 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Democrats say the amount does not factor in the additional funds that
will be needed for President Obama’s recent orders to deploy over 30,000
more troops.
