Ambiance<\/a>, avec Rumsfeld en position de devoir r\u00e9futer les arguments pour augmenter le budget. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab Democrat Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut acknowledged that the defense budget is going up. That’s not surprising, he said. We’re at war. It would be bizarre if it didn’t go up. It’s a hot war; people are getting killed. Lieberman said he was troubled by a lack of additional money for Iraq reconstruction in the proposed defense budget. You can cut and run economically as well as militarily, he told Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. He urged Rumsfeld to include more money for reconstruction in the forthcoming supplemental.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Lieberman also worried that unless defense spending is increased dramatically in the next five years, the U.S. military won’t be able to afford all of the weapons it is planning to buy. <\/em>[…] Sen. James Talent, R-Mo., said he, too, is concerned that the defense budget is too small. The military may not be able to afford all of the ships, fighter jets, refueling tankers and military construction projects it has planned for the near future, he said.<\/em> […] At $439.3 billion, the defense budget amounts to 3.2 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Historically, the nation has spent closer to 5 percent of GDP on defense. We may just have to commit as a nation to spending more of GDP on defense, Talent said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The calls for more put Rumsfeld in the unusual position of defending his budget as big enough. Would everyone always like more? You bet, he said. But it’s not needed. There is always a big bow wave out there of expenses that look unaffordable, Rumsfeld said, but invariably prove to be manageable.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
