The war in Iraq will cost $ 12 billion per month

It is not only the number of troops in Iraq to rise, even the cost of the war to increase limits, more than 1 / 3 more than in 2006. In the first half of this budget year, the cost of the Defense Ministry to an average of $ 12 billion per month for procurement and personnel costs increased, far above the $ 8.7 billion per month in 2006, as outlined in this report for the U.S. Congress to read . Since the Bush government has announced that the "war on terrorism" will last forever, the cost of the war to 10 years expected 1.4 trillion dollars difference was $ 5,000 per U.S. residents or $ 30,000 per U.S. budget means.
