War funding boost sails through Congress over Afghan leaks
The House approved a $33 billion war funding increase to support 30,000 more U.S. troops in Afghanistan, boosting total aid near $59 billion. Despite WikiLeaks documents portraying a faltering campaign, lawmakers largely backed the surge, with Democratic dissent notable but limited. President Obama defended the plan and vowed to push a strategy aimed at winning, while warning leaks could jeopardize personnel and operations.
