American Thinker: Iraq: The War That Broke Us -- Not

Once again, to the sorrow of the Iraq War critics, the devil is in the details.  The Iraq war did not cost $3 Trillion dollars – it did not even cost $1 Trillion dollars.

American Thinker: Iraq: The War That Broke Us -- Not

By Randall Hoven

The Iraq War ends this month. The last combat brigade left August 19. Operation Iraqi Freedom, which began in 2003, will end August 31. September 1 marks the beginning of Operation New Dawn. Now that it's over, what did the Iraq War cost?

The correct answer to my question, according to the Congressional Budget Office, is $709 billion. The Iraq War cost $709 billion.
