"WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — President Bush asked Congress today for an additional $46 billion to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to finance other national security expenses, setting off new verbal skirmishing with Congressional Democrats.
“The majority of the supplemental funding is for day-to-day military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq,” the president told reporters at the White House today. “The bill provides for basic needs like bullets and body armor, protection against I.E.D.’s, and mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles,” he said, using shorthand for improvised explosive devices, or homemade bombs."
