According to the Bush Administration (though disputed by members of Congress and the majority of the American people), American troops in Iraq and billions of dollars of taxpayer's money are necessary to fight the war on terrorism.

I don't recall any rule against it, but you would have to be really careful with the way you do your in-text citations. The best (and safest) way would be to limit it to just one citation per sentence.
Also, you should ask your teacher which style of citations you should follow. It's usually Modern Language Association, or MLA. You can look on their website and find examples of their citations and in-text citations, or find books in your school's library that explain it more in-depth.
Hope this helps!!

I don't think you can. Either paraphrase it or use all of both quotes. There isn't any way to quote two sources in one sentence.
