House approves $91.8 bln for wars, Gulf Coast

[cal04]

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday easily approved $91.8 billion President George W. Bushsought for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for Gulf Coast hurricane relief, even as lawmakers voiced doubts about the efforts.
The emergency spending bill also contained language barring a state-owned Arab company, Dubai Ports World, from managing American ports, although the company has pledged to pull out of the deal that the administration initially approved.

2. Looting of America's future by war profiteers continues

No need for cost benefit analysis; bush cronies making profits, that's all that counts.
