The House has approved a $633 billion defense bill for next year despite Pentagon complaints that it spares outdated but politically popular weapons at the expense of the military’s ability to fight. The White House had threatened a veto of earlier versions of the bill, and its spokesman, Jay Carney, said the threat still stands should the Senate pass the same measure. The bill authorizes $528 billion for the Defense Department’s base budget for ships, aircraft, weapons and personnel. It also provides $88.5 billion for the war in Afghanistan and $17 billion for defense and nuclear programs in the Energy Department.
