Mindmeld, > How much have we spent in Iraq thus far? Cost of Iraq war: zfacts.com $450B over four years, or an average of $113B per year. That's not counting the "hidden costs," but there you go. Tenchusatsu

Yes, very interesting. How much have we spent in Iraq thus far? $650B with another $80B appropriated for the coming year? How much have we increased Pentagon and DOD spending in the last 7 years? From $350B/year at the end of Clinton's Presidency to $550B/year now? And what do we have to show for it? Osama bin Laden is still out there. The Taliban are still attacking Afghanistan. Iraq is still a mess. But, but, but...er MM, you don't seem to want to understand......the surge is working! No worries!
