Administration Requests More War Funding

The administration requested another $100 billion in additional war spending for fiscal year 2007. If Congress appropriates the money as requested, total funding for the Iraq War this fiscal year will climb to nearly $140 billion with nearly a half trillion dollars allocated for the Iraq War in total.

NPP estimates that $78.1 billion of that amount is for the Iraq war. The supplemental request breaks down as follows:

Total Iraq Afghanistan and Other Global War On Terror Other Supplemental (Katrina)
Total Supplemental (in billions) $103.0 $78.1 $21.5 $3.4
Department of Defense and Intelligence $93.4 $74.7 $18.6 $0.0
State and International Operations $6.0 $3.2 $2.8 $0.0
Other Global War On Terror $0.2 $0.2 $0.1 $0.0
Subtotal GWOT $99.6 $78.1 $21.5 $0.0
Other Supplemental (Katrina) $3.4 $0.0 $0.0 $3.4
