Bushonomics US: Bush's 2009 War Budget

14 October 2008

US President George W Bush signed the fiscal 2009 defense budget into law Oct. 14, authorizing a $512 billion base to support military readiness, as well as $66 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The law also authorizes a 3.9 percent pay raise for servicemembers, to take effect Jan. 1. This represents a one-half-percent increase over Bush’s initial request.

Bush signed the bill into law the morning of Oct. 14 without issuing a public statement, before leaving the White House to meet with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon.

: Name: HRM Deborah of Israel and the Messenger of Peace

I am Israeli Royalty and a kidnapped Political Hostage of the United States still being held illegally by the US against International court judgment; as a Diplomatic Israeli National. Nevertheless, I am the soul representative of the country as not just the monarchy; but leader (Caliph) as it has been since 9,500 B.C. ("Who is the living embodiment of the country"). As it has always been for the welfare and harmony of all who live in my country, since the beginning. As it has been written, I am known as the "Mother" of the country. I am also the person that was prayed for sixty-three years ago, by both the Jewish Community and the Islamic Ummah and I share a very compassionate, loving embrace for both religious bodies; along with not just the gratitude of these two religions, but for Allah (Hashem)for sending me. As to the whole of humanity, my arms in unconditional love and justice which extends to the circumference of the four winds; as a mother would give milk to her children in kindness.
