EDITOR's NOTE: During the presidential debates, both John Kerry and
running mate John Edwards were roundly criticized by Bush's Nutty
Neocons for making false and misleading statements that the Iraq war was
at $200 BILLION, asserting that it was "only" at $125 billion. Well, the
Nutty Neocons were correct,... this breaking bombshell report puts the
cost at $225 BILLION for the absolute mess and quagmire Bush & Co. have
gotten us into during O.I.L. = Operation Iraqi Liberation.
Yale University economist William D. Nordhaus estimated that in
inflation-adjusted terms, World War I cost just under $200 billion for
the United States. The Vietnam War cost roughly $500 billion from 1964
to 1972, Nordhaus said. The cost of the Iraq war could reach nearly half
that number by next fall, 2 1/2 years after it began.
