Yesterday Barack Obama (Mr.Change) requested 83.4 billion dollars in funding to further the illegal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, this brings the total funding for both wars to nearly 1 trillion dollars. He also asked for an additional 350 million for operations on the US/Mexico border and 400 million dollars for counterinsurgency aid to Pakistan. WHERE IS THE CHANGE?
When will these wars end? How many lives must be lost? How many homes must be destroyed? When will the violence stop? How long will it take to realize you can't win a war against an idea?
At the bottom of this post I am linking to a story written by Chris Floyd for counterpunch on Obama's appointment of Leon Panetta to head the CIA and the recently released report by the Red Cross on US torture policy.
