On Capitol Hill, the Democratic-led Senate has authorized another $189 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate approved the spending by a vote of 90 to 3. The only Senators voting against the war funding were Democrats Robert Byrd and Russ Feingold and independent Bernie Sanders. None of the Democratic senators running for president were in Washington for the vote. The bill also expands the size of the US Army by 13,000 soldiers.
