Iraq Unseating Vietnam as Most Expensive U.S. War-Report - Yahoo! News: "Earlier this month, the
Congressional Budget Office estimated that the cost of continuing the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan at current levels would nearly double the projected federal budget deficit over the next ten years.

By then, the Iraq War would have come to cost more than $700 billion, unseating the Vietnam War, which cost $600 million in current dollars, as America's most expensive military adventure, according to the report.

It urged the administration of
President George W. Bush to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.

''Iraq policy cannot be seen as a partisan issue. The costs to our country have been far too great,'' said report co-author Erik Leaver. ''No part of our nation remains untouched by this war. The military, the economy, social programs, and most important, our families and communities have all suffered because of this war.''"
