Yeah, I saw that today, and additional commentary that it comes out to around $8,000 for every man woman and child in the US. Hey, come to think of it, that sum might cover health insurance for all! Of course others on this thread argue that it's only a 'one time cost', not ongoing like Medicare/SS and so on. Any way you slice it, 2.4 Tril goes a long way. If Cheney gets his way on Iran, perhaps that figure might even go up...

Regards,
John

PS - Bush said not long ago that he envisioned a 'Korea' type situation in Iraq, so perhaps this is a 50 year long 'one time cost'...
