So, they're seeking billions more money to fund the wars and two billion to prepare for a pandemic.

According to the article:

He (Obama) is hoping to use the money to begin phasing out combat operations in Iraq while building up U.S. forces in Afghanistan where al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are gaining strength.


He's going to use the money to try and stop one war while furthering another. Great. couldn't it have just been "he's going to use the money to phane out both wars?" Doesn't look like we're going to get our troops home any time soon.
