US President Barack Obama has signed into law a USD 633-billion military bill for 2013 despite his earlier threat to veto the measure due a number of reasons.
The president on Wednesday night signed the bill using an autopen while on vacation with his family in Hawaii.
Obama said that although he is still against certain sections of the bill, “the need to renew critical defense authorities and funding was too great to ignore.”
The bill had been approved by the House of Representatives and Senate in December.
It includes cuts in defense spending agreed upon by the president and congressional Republicans in August 2011.
It also authorizes nearly USD 480 million for the Israeli regime’s missile system and allocates USD 88.5 billion for the US-led war in Afghanistan, despite the Obama administration’s declared plans to draw down its forces in the Asian country.
The fiscal measure also attributes another USD 17 billion for the American nuclear program. It also tightens sanctions on Iran in shipbuilding, shipping, and energy sectors.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Over the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have imposed unilateral illegal sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Iran refutes the allegations over its nuclear activities and argues that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Of course cause you gotta support them wars in places where there are no threats to America so we can kill off innocents and soldiers alike to sell weapons and protect drug fields.
It is just good business. Zionist business. Kill the gentiles. sell them drugs and reap the profits.
Man I wish people could get past that “chosen people” lie.
Even Obama has to stay in the good graces of the Military-Industrial Complex the most powerful lobbying force in the world. Next, Obama will find another War to get us into so the government can buy more guns, bullets, fighter planes and bombs. Yep, it is a never ending revolving door of tax dollars flowing out of our pockets and into those of the military-industrial folks. Ain’t freedom great?
