Cost of Iraq War Will Soon Overtake Both Vietnam and Korean Wars

Ouch:

WASHINGTON: The Iraq war is to overtake Korea and Vietnam as the second-most expensive overseas military operation in US history, with spending expected to top $US500 billion ($660 billion) by the end of the decade.

A report from the Congressional Budget Office says $US291billion has been allocated for the Iraq war, the equivalent of $US1000 for every man, woman and child in the US.
The figures were published amid intense debate in Washington over when, and how fast, the US could begin to pull out of Iraq.

And the numbers must be quite a bit higher, given how Rumsfeld likes to play games with numbers and money.
