The Senate has passed a bill to fund President Barack Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan.

The almost $60 billion measure passed by a bipartisan 67-28 tally.

More than half of the funding would go to the Pentagon, mostly to support Obama's influx of 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.

There's also $5 billion to replenish disaster aid accounts, as well as funding for Haitian earthquake relief and aid to U.S. allies in the war on terror.

The bill includes legislation to allow the Coast Guard to receive advances of up to $100 million from the oil spill liability trust fund to pay for the federal response to spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The House has yet to approve the war funding measure, which faces opposition from many anti-war lawmakers. Subscribe to *You Gotta Be Shitting Me*

Those people love war.

Truman started wars without Congress approval 60 years ago next month.

Since then congress has not had the courage to say no and keep evading their responsibility.

If you REALLY want to know the truth, the treaties with the UN permitted unmitigated power in Korea.

Similarly with all the presidents dealing with Vietnam; the treaties provided defensive characteristics. And I could go on and on ..... that is why you see America in a continuous state of war.

Treaties and UN be damned, Congress FUNDS all wars, no funds, no war.
