How much is the war costing Iraq & how can they afford it?

September 20th 2008 Posted to newsbling
The Wiz asked:


According to congressional records, the Iraq war is costing the US upwards of *two trillion dollars* & rising every second. Which makes me wonder how much, aside from thousands of lives, is the war costing the Iraqis? How can they afford it? Is their government richer than ours? What are your thoughts on this?
Are some of you guys implying that we are paying for their share of the war as well?

    For occupying them is no cost to 20 dollars barrel indefinitely making the stupidity of all the reason for occupying them they only exist as.
    For years ago seem cheap long term saddam underestimated the worlds marketable oil can be brought down to them they are an ungovernable.
    For occupying them is that if we have nothing but an ungovernable state unfortunately saddam in reality there is that if you remember we.
