President Obama Seeks Record $708 Billion in Defense Budget
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Monday asked Congress to approve a record $708 billion in defense spending for fiscal year 2011, including a 3.4 percent increase in the Pentagon’s base budget and $159 billion to fund U.S. military missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The White House budget request also included $33 billion in additional funding for fiscal 2010 to pay for increasing military and intelligence operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and drawing down U.S. forces in Iraq. That comes on top of $129.6 billion already provided for the current fiscal year, which ends September 30.

Yes, he should return the prize but maybe it would be a bit more appropriate if he rubbed excrement on it then scorched it with a blowtorch first. I don’t know what the prize comittee expected but I think whatever it was, it obviously blew up in their faces. The level of embarrassment of this Nobel Prize rivals the embarrassment level of the hitherto unrivalable award of the prize to famous economist/genetic inferiority-superiority theorist & social Darwinist Milton Friedman.
