Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

ANKARA, Turkey — A Turkish court on Wednesday formally charged and ordered jailed seven senior Turkish military officers for allegedly plotting several years ago to overthrow the Islamic-leaning government.

The court in Istanbul ordered that four admirals, an army general and two staff colonels be jailed.

Obama Wants $33 Billion More For Wars (VIDEO)

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

(AP) WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned — a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration’s Democratic allies. The extra $33 billion in 2010 would mostly go toward the expansion of the war in Afghanistan. Obama ordered an extra 30,000 troops for that war as part of an overhaul of the war strategy late last year.
