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.

@FreeFromWar I spent some time in the US recently, and I have to say the people who support the war in Iraq also seemed to be the ones who bitched about raising taxes and increased gas prices, of course they cant see the irony of it. Since they blame those things solely on illegal immigrants and liberals.

Just 3 Trillion? The number is MUCH higher now!!! What an insane waste of resources. American leaders are criminals and the only people who can do something are American citizens, but they're too busy perpetuating their selfish lifestyle with their meaningless ipods, TV, parties and other crap... Stop being so ignorant Amerca. Wake the fuck up.

As so many U.S superioritist (I know it's not a real word) military fanboy civilians say: "The U.S military is the best of the best of the best so shut the fuck up you retard". Becoming further in debt to China. Problem, U.S fags?

U.S military logic. Since we are the best of the best of the best and one of our soldiers could wipe out 10 of the enemy we have to have 10 aircraft carriers when no other country has more than 1. Also we fight and die 10 to 1 ratio.
