NeoCONservative War Costs 6 Billion a Month |
Iraq War Topping $5.8 Billion A Month
http://www.military.com
United Press International
November 18, 2004
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is spending more than $5.8
billion a month on the war in Iraq, according to the
military's top generals.
That is nearly a 50 percent increase above the $4
billion-a-month benchmark the Pentagon has used to
estimate the cost of the war so far.
The Army alone is spending $4.7 million a month
while the Air Force is spending $800 million a
month transporting soldiers and flying combat
missions. The Marine Corps is spending $300 million
a month, the four service chiefs told the House
Armed Services Committee Wednesday.
Since 2003, the Pentagon has received some $160
billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in
supplemental funding -- that is, in addition to
its annual budget. It will be requesting another
multibillion-dollar supplement early next year
to cover the continuing cost of the war.
