The Obama administration is expected to seek additional war funding on top of the $130 billion Congress authorized last month. On Wednesday, the nation’s top military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, said he expects the Pentagon to request emergency funding for the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan in the coming months. President Obama has previously pledged to end the Bush administration policy of funding wars with supplementals outside the normal Pentagon budget. The new request will reportedly seek around $50 billion.
