WebSutera.com: Presiden AS Barack Obama mengikut jejak Bush?

Dua tiga minggu ini, saya lihat Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama, lain benar lagaknya. Dia hantar berpuluh ribu askar tambahan ke Afghanistan.

Mata-mata perisikan CIA pula memberi tumpuan ke Yaman. Semua atas alasan memerangi keganasan. Bush si anak dan bapa pun dahulu begitu juga tingkahnya.

Suasana di Iraq belum reda, kini di Afghanistan pula, kononnya menyokong serta membantu pemerintahan Hamid Karzai. Siapa Hamid Karzai? Boneka Amerika Syarikatlah! Adakah Barack Obama ingin mengikut jejak terroris kedua-dua Bush celaka tersebut? Erm, Nampak gaya begitulah. Baca cebisan berita yang dipetik dari aj-Jazeera.

The US president plans to ask congress for an extra US$33bn to fight the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq this year, defence officials say.

The money, mainly for the deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and other war costs in the 2010 fiscal year, would come on top of Barack Obama's expected request to increase the Pentagon's overall budget in fiscal 2011 to a record US$708 billion, the officials said on condition of anonymity.

Fiscal 2010 defence department funding, including war costs in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as military construction, already comes to US$660 billion without the US$33 billion emergency funding request.
