USD75billion? Chalk in a USD250Billion. Here is why As my previous posting showed the tactics had failed, the costs are going to be much higher than the USD75billion Bush asked the congress. The budget was based on the assumption that the tactics that failed would have been successful. Being outsmarted, the invaders would have to fight back with what they have but Iraq doesn't: MONEY! Why more money: Longer war. Much more troops Use of fighters rather than helicopters More ammunition (costly precision guided bombs) Greater losses of materiel More money to sweet the likes of Turkey and I think you can add some more there. Pizza have been cheaper. A lot cheaper...
