Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.
FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.
(snip)
But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion.
If you search Wayne Newton’s political contributions, you will find that with the exception of Harry Reid, all his monies go to the GOP.........
A couple of them mentioned “income inequality”, but didn’t mention how much of their own income they’d be willing to redistribute.
[ I was especially disgusted with Mark Ruffalo blaming Benghazi on Republicans........they cut the budget, you know. Never mind it was State that paid millions to sponsor a cooking challenge in Europe right around the same time. ]
It OK... Hulk not too bright...
I guess it's an occupational habit...repeating lines....talking points... written by somebody else.
