"I think people are becoming more aware of these guns or butter questions," said Gary Gillespie, "But when you talk about $720 million a day, even people who work on this issue are shocked by the number and shocked by what could have been done with that money. War has no return — you're not producing a product."

should give me a zillionth of that money, i'll live as a king for life. In fact if you gave every one 50 000 each, america would be far far better today.

Not sure how they figured these numbers were accurate. It's calculated that the cost of the Iraqi war is at 800'ish billion. Thats from it's start to today. If it was 720 million a day [8 yrs x 365 x 720] = 2+ trillion. Obviously your estimate is an incredibly large exaggeration. Also, they found out the amount in the stimulus bill [which irreperably failed] cost more than a war and fixed nothing. And the economy recession was caused by the housing crisis you idiots.

This is not a war, it's imperialism built upon a genocide.
