Some estimates where that high. They included all indirect expenses not just the direct cost of the war. They also included supposed negative economic effects and anticipated a war that dragged on for many months with thousands of US casualties.

"Estimate" is too strong a term. It was a propaganda figure made up by the anti-war crowd to try and sway public opinion. But you're right, that is what I was referring to in the original post.
