Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, explains why the cost of the Iraq War is not included in the President’s 2006 budget, but as an $81 billion supplement.
Rumsfeld states the annual budget process takes up to 12 months for the Department of Defense to plan its budget. After that point, the budget must go through the Office of Management and Budget and then be approved by Congress. (1:03)
