The Senate is expected to act on the legislation this week. The bill includes $497.7 billion for the Department of Defense’s annual “base” budget (not including funding for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan). This is roughly $3.4 billion below the Obama Administration’s request ($501.1 billion). Afghanistan Fact Sheet: The Numbers Behind the Troop IncreaseTue, 12/01/2009 - 22:45 — nppadmin
President Barack Obama is making a major policy speech on Afghanistan tonight. According to numerous press reports, this speech will include his intention to significantly increase the number of U.S. forces deployed in the region to conduct combat operations and assist with the training of Afghanistan's national security forces. New Release: "Report of the Task Force on a Unified Security Budget"The new “Report of the Task Force on a Unified Security Budget for the United States for Fiscal Year 2010” is now available. The report finds that while the Obama administration promised “a sweeping shift of priorities and resources in the national security arena,” this promise has not yet been kept. The USB has been produced annually since 2004 by Foreign Policy In Focus of the Institute for Policy studies in Washington, D.C., and draws on a task force whose members are experts in U.S. security spending and military and foreign policy.
