$7 Trillion on Iraq?
 

Iraq War May Cost U.S. USD 7 Trillion
Published on Friday, February 29, 2008.

Noble Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz estimates that the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan may cost the US up to USD 7 trillion.

When US troops invaded Iraq in March 2003, the Bush administration
predicted that the war would be self-financing and that rebuilding the
nation would cost less than USD 2b, but Stiglitz estimates that the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing America more than USD 3 trillion.

That estimate from the Noble Prize-winning Stiglitz also serves as the
title of his new book, "The Three Trillion Dollar War", which hits store
shelves Friday.

The book, co-authored with Harvard University professor Linda Bilmes,
builds on previous research that was published in January 2006. The two
argued then and now that the cost to America of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan is wildly underestimated.

When other factors are added - such as interest on debt, future
borrowing for war expenses, the cost of a continued military presence in
Iraq and lifetime health-care and counseling for veterans - they think
that the wars' costs range from USD 5 trillion to USD 7 trillion.

“I think we really have learned that the long-term costs of taking care
of the wounded and injured in this war and the long-term costs of
rebuilding the military to its previous strength is going to far eclipse
the cost of waging this war,” Bilmes said in an interview.

The book and its estimates are the subject of a hearing Thursday by the
Joint Economic Committee of Congress.

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a decorated Marine Corp colonel and Vietnam
veteran, welcomed the effort by Stiglitz and Bilmes to quantify how much
the wars will cost taxpayers.

“It's astounding that here we are about to mark the fifth anniversary of
the invasion of Iraq, and this administration still refuses to
acknowledge the long-term costs of the war in Iraq,” he said.

By any estimate, the Bush administration's predictions in March 2003 of
a self-financing war have proved to be wildly inaccurate. Stiglitz cites
operational spending to date of USD 646b for the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and, working off estimates from the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office, presumes that spending on these wars over
the next decade probably will amount to another USD 913b.

Pentagon officials had no immediate comment on Stiglitz's book or his
estimates.

What do you have against soldiers, mostly honorable and brave folks?
My dad never talked about the war, but when he dies he wants me to
note at his funeral that "he loved his family" and "he was a
soldier"... I think the point is that he did not stop being a soldier
when he came home from war, he was a soldier for life. Nothing wrong
with that. You don't have to be republican to be a soldier either, as
I have noted before, my family was heavily involved in the socialist
party/movement some decades ago. All of them went to war, and loved
their country.

What Is A Veteran?

A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is
someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to
"The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and including his
life."

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who
no longer understand that fact.

Mike, both Doug and Harry think it will bend me way out of shape if they
put down my military service (or that of anyone else). Harry's gone so far
as to make the 'killing babies' charge.

Other than showing where they must go to think they've won, their comments
have no effect.

My dad taught me many of the same things yours taught you. Dads are pretty

Let's me make something perfectly clear: I don't put down your military
service *BECAUSE* it was military service. I do it because of who and what
YOU are. And, I do it because you don't really understand why you served and
what you were sworn to protect.

If that's the case, it's because you are so disastrously bad at expressing

consequence) is to throw as much useless flak as you can. You're very good
at it.

Dougie this has got to be the dumbest couple of sentences you have every

You've missed too many discussions with John, so you're in no position to
make any comments on the truth of my statements.
Other than at your may criminal and civil trials where else have your
sworn an oath?


Another message with no useful content. Are you trying to be Harry's
understudy?

You have "useful content" discussions with Herring? I've yet to see one of
those. Perhaps you might highlight the next. How can you have a "useful
content" discussion with someone who has a flat-line EEG?


This is exactly what I'm talking about, Harry.

I wasn't offering you help. I was asking for some. I've read any number
of your "discussions" with Herring. I don't see anything approaching
"useful content" coming from him. That's why I asked if you could point
out some. :}

My knowledge of you is based upon your posts here and elsewhere, and
from personal observation. As far as I can tell, there are two and only
two positive attributes about you: you have a nice wife, and you do a
good job washing out your boat.

Don't listen to him, Harry. He does need your help. He should stick to
derogatory attacks or senseless statements, like you do. Then he should
hush when they're pointed out to him, like you do. Eventually, he should
tell folks he's putting them in a fake killfile, like you do. Then he can
make stupid comments and pretend he doesn't see the replies, like you do.

Harry, my knowledge of you is based on the same factors. I'm trying hard to
come up with some positive attributes. Let's see....spelling?

It would surely not be integrity or slimness of build.

There's nothing you post that is worthy of thought or even a thoughtful
response.
