White House asks for supplemental $72.4 bln for Iraq, Afghanistan wars
17 Feb 2006 The White House asked the Congress on Thursday for 72.4
billion U.S. dollars in additional funding for military operations in
Iraq and Afghanistan [Halliburton] this year. With the new money, the
cost of the U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan would
rise to 120 billion dollars for this year, and would bring the total
war-related costs to date to nearly 400 billion dollars since the
Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The Congress already approved in December last
year 50 billion dollars to cover this year's war costs.
