The Senate has given its strong support to this amendment four timesfour timesand the President continues to look the other way. continues to disregard this direction by the Senate. The Senate must insist on a long overdue and responsible step of budgeting for the cost of the war. I am also very disappointed that the White House limited the supplemental request to the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and in response to Hurricanes Katrina. Rita. and Wilma. As the Senate debates immigration and border security. it is rather astonishing. wouldnt you think. that no funding was included for border security. Nor were any funds included for port security. Dubai Ports World is now operating terminals at six of our major ports.
