 WASHINGTON – On Tuesday night, The United States Senate approved in a 76-to-17 vote a 556 billion spending omnibus appropriations bill, which would keep the US government running through September 2008.  It also thwarted the Democratic attempts to shunt President George Bush’s Iraq War venture since it included $70 billion for Iraq.

The Senate vote did not include conditions for ending the war and provided President George W. Bush a victory by including additional Iraq war funds without conditions for ending the combat.

By a vote of 76-17, the Senate approved the $556 billion fiscal 2008 spending bill.

The legislation now returns to the House of Representatives for final consideration before being sent to President Bush’s desk.
