Bush seeks 80 billion war package amid 2006 budget push
The White House plans an 80 billion war financing request, with about three quarters for Iraq troops and funds for a Baghdad embassy. The package, tied to Bush's broader 2006 budget unveiled Feb 7, faces Democratic scrutiny over deficits and costs. It may also fund Afghan drug‑fight efforts, aid Palestinian Abbas, Ukrainian Yushchenko, tsunami relief, and aid to Indian Ocean nations. Pelosi says Congress must ensure troops have funding and questions Iraq goals and Iraqi troop roles.
