* The House is set to vote on Friday on President Bush’s proposed 87 billion
dollar budget for aid to Iraq and Afghanistan. A proposal to make half of the
money given to Iraq a loan, not a grant, was eliminated in final negotiations.
The House is certain to pass the budget, though Democrats have criticized it
for not including enough controls on how the money is spent. After the House
passage, the bill will move to the Senate and then to President Bush, both of
which are expected to give their approval to the bill.
* The economy is now believed to have rapidly accelerated its growth from July
to September, with the gross domestic product growing 7.2 percent. Economists
attributed the gain to rock-bottom interest prices, as well as President Bush’s
third round of tax cuts. The unemployment rate, at 6.1 percent, still needs
improvement, but the payrolls did grow by 57,000 jobs in September.
* The suicide attacks in Baghdad this week used tactics employed by Al-Qaeda,
a US counterterrorism expert said on Thursday. The New York Times reported that
senior US officials believe that this means that Saddam is still alive and behind
the attacks.
