small ax entered good news about halliburton having to re-bid a little too quickly. as one blogger has pointed out, halliburton has all the infrastructure in place; it is unlikely that another company will be able to underbid them, even if they wanted to enter into the war zone which is iraq in the red zone (there are, of course, various websites devoted to investigating halliburton, such as halliburtonwatch).
i have a little trouble understanding amounts over a million dollars (not that i understand a million dollars), but, in any case, can someone tell me how the u.s. taxpayers can afford the iraqi war now or in the future?
- The Iraq war could cost U.S. taxpayers between $202 billion and $406 billion more over the next 10 years, depending on how quickly U.S. force levels can be reduced, congressional budget experts said on Thursday.
- The Congressional Budget Office offered two cost scenarios for the war, which it said so far has cost almost $300 billion. (US Iraq war costs may rise by $406 billion by 2016, Thu Jul 13, 7:59 PM ET, WASHINGTON, Reuters)
