Truthout's Maya Schenwar reports: "President Bush's 2009 federal budget, released Monday, does not declare how much funding the administration expects to need for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan next year. The omission appears to break a law that requires the inclusion of the year's total war funds in the annual budget plan. The administration's budget includes an 'emergency allowance' of $70 billion, but states that more money will be requested once the war's 'specific needs' are determined."
