The Senate's multi-billion bill
The Senate has passed a multi-billion bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan until President Bush's successor takes over. The vote came just minutes after a majority of GOP senators voted to add tens of millions of dollars for veterans college aid and extending unemployment benefits. They're provisions that Bush opposes, and he's promised to veto the bill if it contains those domestic spending measures. The legislation needs to be approved by the House before it goes to the President.
