The figure, thus far, has more in the range of $25B.

RE:"You've got that right........the US didn't throw away my good tax money so the Iraqis can loot and yell "Americans go home"! They need to pay up in full our getting rid of the asshole they were too chickenshit to get rid of"

I think you are starting to understand Islam. In a short while the clerics won't give any credit to the US at all and claim that Allah ridded them of Saddam. Americans please leave now, etc.
This is why the new Iraqi government needs to be separated from Islam as far as possible. Otherwise Iraq will end up like Iran w/the Allatolah and Afghanistan post ridding them of the Russians, a situation where the US got no credit either.
Bush is smart to set up 4 bases. It will take years to get the Iraqis used to elections and democracy. Sure, the Muslim world will not like it at first but tough.
