"Cost of Iraq war could surpass $1 trillion. Estimates vary, but all agree price is far higher than initially expected."

Depends on who was doing the estimating.

My personal estimate (just prior to the Congressional authorization) was about 1/2 Trillion dollars before it was all over --- an expense we are brushing up against with this latest year's budgeting.
