	Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips $3 Trillion Dollar War in Middle East clipped by: blueridge clippers remarks: But the shedding of innocent blood, of civilians in particular, cannot be priced. But here is the economic breakdown and comparison of the cost of war in Iraq and Afghanistan thus far. It staggers the mind, and has sunk America deep in debt! Clip Source: www.timesonline.co.uk The three trillion dollar war The cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have grown to staggering proportions these costs are projected to be almost ten times the cost of the first Gulf War, almost a third more than the cost of the Vietnam War, and twice that of the First World War. The only war in our history which cost more was the Second World War The Bush Administration was wrong about the benefits of the war and it was wrong about the costs of the war. The president and his advisers expected a quick, inexpensive conflict. Instead, we have a war that is costing more than anyone could have imagined. Most Americans have yet to feel these costs. The price in blood has been paid by our voluntary military and by hired contractors. The price in treasure has, in a sense, been financed entirely by borrowing. operating costs (spending on the war itself, what you might call ?running expenses?) for 2008 are projected to exceed $12.5 billion a month for Iraq alone Tags: iraq, afghanistan, war, government spending, national debt zum Artikel...
