WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama asked the
U.S. Congress on Thursday for an extra $83.4 billion to fund the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year, citing threats from al
Qaeda and a resurgent Taliban.

The request, to cover the rest of the 2009 fiscal year which ends
on September 30, comes on top of more than $822 billion that
Congress has approved to fund the wars since September 2001,
Obama said.
