Big_Sam Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yup its expensive, check out WWII costs to the USA: In today's money, the cost to the U.S. would be over three trillion dollars (at 288 billion 1945 dollars) or about $3,189,752,033,348 So iraq is a bargain.... especially as there is enough oil there to pay off the war several times over...........

The UK officialy only paid off our debt to the U.S for what we owed them because of WWII a few years ago. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death from below Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Figures like that mean nothing....just ridiculous money......they have the biggest national debt anyway even without the war....its just another way of hiding the fact.......and as already stated the lovely black stuff found in the middle east more than makes up for it as far as the yank leader is concerned. The real cost is in the lives of British soldiers(and American ones for that)......screw the yanks and their national debt/priorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 you'd be surprised at how much less we actually have to spend than the yanks.... thats why we borrow so much off them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
