Number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq: 155,000 February 2008: 9,895 September 2006: 18,000 November 2004: 25,595 I guess they think they're making progress! =[
Army soldiers in Iraq who have served two or more tours: 74% Number of Private Military Contractors in Iraq: 180,000 Number of Private Military Contractors criminally prosecuted by the U.S. government for violence or abuse in Iraq: 1 Number of contract workers killed: 917
The bill so far: $526 billion Cost per day: $275 million Cost per household: $4,100 The estimated long-term bill: $3 trillion
What $526 billion could have paid for in the U.S. in one year: Children with health care: 223 million or Scholarships for university students: 86 million or Head Start places for children: 72 million
Cost of 22 days in Iraq could safeguard our nation's ports from attack for ten years. Cost of 18 hours in Iraq could secure U.S. chemical plants for five years.
