Cost of Iraq War

Someone was writing about the cost of the Iraq War and thought they might be interested in this:
Real Costs of the Iraq War [+] posted by Jeremy Lyon (0 comments)  
Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel prize-winning economist, has co-authored a report in which he projects the real costs of the Iraq war to be at least $1 trillion. Those costs include not only the operational war expenses, but also such costs as lifetime care for critically wounded soldiers. Compare that figure with Larry Lindsey's pre-war estimate of $200 billion, characterized by the Bush White House as "too high." [sysrick]
