When is enough enough?

From Associated Press reports

Congress has appropriated $610 billion in war-related money since Sept. 11, 2001. That's roughly the same amount that was spent on the war in Vietnam, taking inflation into account.

Iraq alone has cost $450 billion.

---
Vietnam cost $531 billion over 9 years. (1964-1972)

Iraq War started March 2003 = 4 years already.

Is the administration going to let the costs reach WWII levels (in the trillions) before withdrawing from Iraq?

Of course, this commentary does not include other monetary costs like veterans benefits and medical care AND the human costs, military and civilian casualties, the stress of families waiting at home, etc.


I love NPR, but sometimes it stresses me out.
