Maybe Gonzo can give them lessons
From the Marine Corps Times:
Pentagon and State Department officials will be under the gun on July 31 to explain the estimated $12 billion-a-month cost of continued military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.Everybody knows what it buys. It buys about 100 dead US troops each month, a couple of thousand dead Iraqis and a large number of well armed groups practicing their Civil War skills.
The House Budget Committee hearing on the cost of military operations and reconstruction costs comes after the Congressional Research Service, a bipartisan analytical arm of Congress, reports the that Congress has provided $610 billion already for the two operations and related costs for fighting terrorism, and will be spending an additional $147 billion in fiscal 2008, which begins Oct. 1.
