By a voice vote, the Senate yesterday approved giving President Bush nearly everything in his requested $87 billion package for reconstruction and military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Washington Post reports the bill was one of the largest military and foreign aid bills in U.S. history. Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia was the only senator that could be heard saying “no” when the voice vote was held. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Joe Biden and Republican Senator Richard Lugar have called for more troops to be sent to Iraq following the weekend violence.
