They included the future cost of disabled veterans and interest on the borrowed money for the wars.  Eventually these wars will cost the USA 3-4 trillion at least.

 

Costofwar is about the cost TO DATE meaning now, not in 2017, not in 2050. Understand?

 

Too bad Dick Cheney and other top officials lied about the true cost right before the war stating that it would be around 80-100 billion for two years.  Too bad they didn't have any real plan for the war and that the Iraq war was complete bullshit.

Your point?  Your switching topics.  What they predicted or stated has nothing to do with actual costs in the end.  It has cost TO DATE only 1.4 trillion.  It has not cost what some university kids predicted yet of 4 trillion.  So you can not use 4 trillion of the debt as THE WAR and BUSH.  

What Dick Cheney said has nothing to do with this and is just you trying to change the subject.
