Price of Iraq war now outpaces Vietnam
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Price_of_Iraq_war_now_outpaces_0318.html
The costs of maintaining a US presence in Iraq now runs a tab of about $435 million a day -- $3 billion a week, or $12 billion a month. The US has siphoned some $500 billion taxpayer dollars into Iraq, for a war that was supposed to be "sharp" and brief. Interest payments add another $615 billion, and the price tag of repairing a depleted military is projected at $280 billion.
USA! USA! USA!
