That's A Lot Of Lettuce


This week, the “nonpartisan” Congressional Research Service published updated financial costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan:
Since the invasions, Congress has appropriated $610 billion to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The war in Iraq is now costing approximately $12 billion a month, a 40% increase over last year. The entire Vietnam War -- adjusted for inflation -- cost less than $650 billion. By the end of the year, the “war on terror” will be the most expensive U.S. conflict since WWII.
