(WASHINGTON, D. C.)--DESPITE DISTURBING QUESTIONS RAISED BY THE RECENT PUBLICATION OF LEAKED DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN, CONGRESS HAS APPROVED A 59-BILLION DOLLAR WAR FUNDING BILL PASSED EARLIER BY THE SENATE. THIS FRESH INFUSION OF MONEY WILL FUND THE CURRENT SURGE OF 30-THOUSAND EXTRA TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN.
MISSOURI FOURTH DISTRICT U. S. CONGRESSMAN IKE SKELTON VOTED FOR THE WAR FUNDING BILL, WHICH PASSED BY A 308-TO-114 MARGIN. SKELTON SAID THE MONEY WILL PROVIDE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH THE RESOURSES THEY NEED TO CARRY OUT THEIR MISSIONS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.
