US war machine receives billions


(Cartoon by Carlos Latuff)

Press TV Interview with
Conn Hallinan of Foreign Policy in Focus

"US President Barack Obama has signed a multi-billion dollar spending bill for American-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan after recently giving Israel billions of dollars.

The funding has brought the amount of money the US Congress has appropriated for the unpopular wars since 2001 to over one trillion dollars.

The current package will cover troop build up, the war and spending for military operations in Iraq. More Republicans voted for the bill than Obama's Democratic cronies implying there is really no difference between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the US president and foreign policy agenda.

For a deeper analysis, PressTV spoke with Conn Hallinan of Foreign Policy in Focus....."
