Iraq war costs $3 trillion
I’ve posted this before.
But a short video called The Hidden Cost of War is more graphic. And succinct.
In 2003, Donald Rumsfeld estimated a war with Iraq would cost $60 billion. Five years later, the cost of Iraq war operations is more than 10 times that estimate. So what’s behind the ballooning figures? Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilme’s exhaustively researched book, The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict, breaks down the price tag, from current debts to the unseen costs we’ll pay for many years to come.
What a stupid, stupid mistake this war has been.
The last hurrah of the USA.
