President Barack Obama has signed a $633 billion defense

US President Barack Obama.

President Barack Obama has signed a $633 billion defense bill for the next year after the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya.    
Obama had threatened to veto the measure because of a number of concerns, including limits on his authority to transfer terrorist suspects from the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for one year.
But Obama said that although he continued to oppose certain sections of the bill, ”the need to renew critical defense authorities and funding was too great to ignore”.
The bill includes cuts in defiance spending that the president and congressional Republicans agreed to in August 2011, along with the end of the war in Iraq and the draw down of American forces in Afghanistan.
