Only $3,845 per second

When you break down the costs, our Iraq presence is costing Americans an astonishing $3,845 per second.

Nearly 4,000 Americans dead, nearly 30,000 wounded, and nearly $4,000 per second. Five years later, this is the cost of waging a war that should have never been initiated, and the cost of continuing a blunder that should have ended a long time ago.
