CBO: Bush Plans For Iraq Will Cost Trillions
A new Congressional study finds that President Bush's plans for the U.S. in Iraq over the next several decades will reach the trillions of dollars, on top of the approximately $567 billion the war has already cost. That accounting assumes a significant troop draw-down -- and still tallies a daunting expense for the United States.
We've added the report to our document collection. You can read it here.
On June 1, during a trip to U.S. Pacific Command in Honolulu, Defense Secretary Robert Gates mused about how to "posture ourselves" in Iraq "for the long term." The Vietnam experience underscored the undesirability of a sudden, abrupt withdrawal. Far better for the U.S. to follow the experiences of post-conflict garrisoning in Korea and Japan, he said: "a mutually agreed arrangement whereby we have a long and enduring presence." President Bush is reportedly intrigued by the so-called Korea model, wherein the U.S. has guaranteed security on the Korean peninsula with at least four U.S. Army combat brigades for half a century. Indeed, in his speech on Thursday, Bush declared himself ready to build an "enduring relationship" between the U.S. and Iraq.
The study, conducted by the Congressional Budget Office, decided to follow the Korea model to calculate its expense. Since it's unclear for how long or under what conditions combat operations will ensue, the CBO projects both a combat and a non-combat presence. Both, however, are projected to require 55,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. The combat scenario entails one-time costs of $4 to $8 billion, with annual expenses of $25 billion, projected outward. Under the non-combat scenario, a $8 billion one-time cost -- mainly for the construction of additional "enduring" bases -- would be followed by annual costs of $10 billion or less.
A prior CBO study, released in August, estimated (large pdf) that U.S. costs in Iraq from 2009 to 2017 will total approximately $1 trillion on the assumption of a troop presence of 75,000. On top of that, under the reduced-force combat scenario envisioned in this CBO estimate, the U.S. will spend another $1 trillion by 2057 -- the lifespan of the U.S.'s Korean presence to date.
All estimates are in 2008 dollars. Both estimates are arguably conservative. In the combat scenario, for instance, Army units serve 12-month tours, whereas they now serve 15-month tours. In the non-combat scenario, the CBO ratcheted down the Defense Department's cost-of-war estimates to reflect "lower costs for such items as equipment maintenance, fuel and consumable materials."

How about looking to cut the tax deduction for 2nd home morgages? With that, plus getting out of Iraq NOW, we could put plenty of money into suring up Social Security AND provide Universal Healthcare.
How many middle-class folks have that 2nd home? I'm just saying...

joe wrote on September 20, 2007 10:52 AM:i can't read the document right now, but is it factoring in the medical costs of veterans? which are already projected into the many billions..? or is it calculating only the direct military costs of occupation/"enduring relationship"?
how can one man cause so much harm, kill so many people, and spend so much money, especially while preaching that "all life is sacred" and being of the party of "fiscal responsibility"?
i'm so sure.....

This must be the "fiscal responsibility" and "spending taxpayers' money wisely" that Bush has promised since 2000 but hasn't delivered.
Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't "conservative assumptions" be on the high side? I think you wanted to suggest that the assumptions were on the optimistic side -- n'est pas?

Be careful what you wish for. The president's Blue-Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform (or whatever it was called) proposed eliminating all deductions for home mortgage interest, even on primary residences. This group was constituted to move us toward a consumption tax which would shift the tax burden down to earned income and shift away from investment income.
Tax reform should begin with taking away the enormous breaks enacted since 2001 which benefit income from wealth over income from labor: the estate tax should be reinstituted with a higher exemption, dividends should be taxed like interest (and IMO should be deductible like interest from corporate income), and capital gains rates can be adjusted from the current 15% back up toward 28%, where they were when Bush took office.
All of this and many other wealth preferences should be targeted before home mortgage interest, the deduction for which is already limited and which is typically incurred by those for whatever reason need or choose to borrow.

As far as the percentage of GDP comparison - that lost all validity under Clintons reign when Government spending was added to the GDP, so approximately 30% of the current GDP number is the government spending your tax dollars which doesnt seem like Gross Domestic Production to me.

It's highly unlikely they're doing brain scans. Subtle damage doesn't show up easily on medical tests. It would take neuropsych testing for that.
But if they are doing brain scans, it would be to pick up stuff that actually should keep them out of the military!! If the damage is evident on a CT, for example, that is pretty huge damage. And would mean a big memory problem, for starters. Do we want someone in the military who can't remember well? I hope not!
As far as diagnosing pre-existing character disorders, you could do that with an MMPI-2 or you'd guess that from prior arrests, failure to hold jobs or graduate from school.
I am sure they are upping the diagnosis of pre-existing character disorders in order to save money. But heck, no matter what problems were there to start with, they took these people and they put them in a war zone. And that should be the end of the story!!!
It's well known that people who had problems beforehand will end up with worse PTSD. It's their fault if they took such people, not the soldier's fault!
This absolutely burns me!!! Disgusts me! Makes me ashamed to be an American.

Between Congress fixing to raise the debt ceiling, and Benarke lowering the value of the dollar with recent rate cuts, all Bush really has is a gamble that the Chinese will continue to buy our ever less valued dollars. Bush is running the war and the country on debt. The only markets we have are financial, essentially, and the housing bubble has burst that.
In other words, the Uncle Sam is dead man walking, can fall over almost any time.
Bush is gambling, quite successfully so far, that the Neo-con hold on the country will allow his cabal to get away with gutting our country,
Doing pretty well so far, I must say.
Screw the military support in Iraq. Put that money into getting reliable water, electrical, and telephone services for all of Iraq NOW, and that's going to do a heckuva lot more to defuse sectarian violence against the US (and coalition) than all the soldiers in the world fighting a losing battle against groups whose allegiance can change to their advantage.
If the general citizenry in Iraq finally can feel that their lives are worth living, then they will be able to exert popular pressure against those who are trying to undermine Iraq's chance at rebuilding itself. They can oust the Saudis and others, who have come there to stir up trouble, and figure out their politics--or not.
But in the meantime, knowing that they have the services that let them restart their businesses and day-to-day lives without their basic needs being unreliable--thanks to the efforts of the US--will do more to achieve that "hearts and minds" goal than anything else.

Caring parent wrote on September 20, 2007 1:56 PM:The “Long War” is reality and soon it will be known as the “Trillion Dollar” war ($500 Billion spent to date). Bin Laden stated his goal is to bankrupt the United States just as he takes credit for doing so to the Soviet Union, and I submit he is succeeding. I am resolved the going forward strategy for this Long War will require more troops somewhere, a long term commitment and thus more money, in addition to a new Iraq plan. I am beyond questioning how we got to where we are today except to say there is no going back, morally we are obligated to finish what we started in Iraq. Therefore, I suggest we must admit what we already know but do not talk about - we will be in Iraq for the next 15 years as evidenced by us still being in Korea 40 years later. Therefore, I am fully prepared to pay an import oil tax of 50 cents or more a gallon to start to pay for this “Long War”. Since 50-60% % of our oil comes from other countries. Simple math says this would raise gas prices by about 30 cents a gallon for all United States residents.
There are four reasons to earmark this Import Oil tax to pay for the “Long War”:
1) To decrease our money going to those counties who hate us ( i.e. read: Middle East and other dictator countries we are supporting with our oil addiction).
2) So we all feel the pain every time we fill up our gas tank and not just the families that have given the ultimate, a loved one, to win this Long War. This will drive us to hold our leaders accountable going forward.
3) To take a step in the right direction to stop our oil addiction by bringing a greater sense of urgency to find alternative energy through economic necessity on our terms… not Big Oil’s.
And most important to me:
4) So my great great grandchildren will not be stuck paying for my generation’s war; right now we have sentenced my middle school aged daughter with our debt, I hope she understands because I don’t understand why we feel it is OK to spend our future generations tax money. I also hope when she is 18 she is not drafted off to some foreign country to bring democracy to people who are not ready for it or living in a depression caused by our credit card approach to this Long War

A completely devastated people that see their entire livelihood destroyed have accepted the new reality in the past. No more. Forget rebuilding Iraq even though it's the right thing to do.

Neither the USA, nor the rest of the world has any lasting or real value of weapons squandering, hollow speaches, torture, disloyalty to treaties, lies galore. Nor the absurd irresponsibility in not even trying to measure the effects on the iraqi population caused by one's illegal war.

Their ultimate goal is to incite a nuclear attack, or pole shift or planetary upheaval, to cause all hell to break loose. At the last moment, someone or something will "swoop down" to save the world.

Bio wrote on October 26, 2007 2:47 AM:Dullard-in-Chief
If it's good for the Jews, then it's bad for us. Why do I state that so absolutely? That's easy. The reason I know this is because this Jew-Gentile battle is not like macro or micro-economics. This Jew-Gentile clash is a completely zero-sum game. For one side to win, even a modest gain or a modicum of an advance, the other side must give up something, they must lose something. The bad news is, the stakes are higher than they have ever been. Therefore the losses are going to grow exponentially and quanitatively larger and larger.
We now have a President, a semi-literate man who is the worst orator to ever address the nation, who is, for all intents and purposes, fully Jewish. George Bush is of course a Gentile, but his goals, his agendas and his Machiavellian slamming of political enemies is as Jewish as a Likud Party fundraising event. Bush is a traitor to America, with no allegiances other than wealth and power. He is an internationalist who yearns for a North American Union similar to the EU, consisting of the United States, Canada and the Third World hellhole of Mexico. These three distinct countries will become meaningless anachronisms when they are borderless interlinked land masses. This will be the end of America and its sovreignty and the overrunning, the trammeling of this once great power with backward illiterate criminal illegals.
If America was ever an "honest broker" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that policy too has been junked. A "Judaized" Bush does not even take the time to make a pretense of objectivity. He has chosen to open his arms to the theocrats, the Likudite advocates of wholesale Palestinian extermination or displacement. The rest of the world sees the Zionistic agenda of this White House and they are appalled and dismayed by the lack of any sense of impartiality. Bush is "Jewish" in everything but his blood line.
In Iraq our "Jewish" Dullard-in-Chief has pursued "War Party" objectives with such relish, with such reckless abandon that all but the most hawkishly and rakishly pro-Israel and pro-Zionist among us blanche at his frank and smug deafness to the cries and reasonable objections of critics, even critics from the political right. For this reason alone, Bush should be impeached, YESTERDAY, and dragged from the White House, Dick Cheney in tow. Both of these Israelized, Judaized, Zionized criminals should be stuffed into the smallest prison cell available and made to serve lifetime sentences for their crimes against America and America's true interests.
But no, this is not what is going to occur. We are no longer a sane nation. For if we were, even a compromised and pathetic socialist party like the Democrats would do the right thing and demand that George W. Bush and his advisors be driven promptly from office and then tried for their treason. Both of our political parties are Judaized and fractured, and now you see that even anti-war Democrats who opposed the Iraq war fecklessness will not rule out air strikes against Iran. If they did, if any one of these politician criminals dared to step up and condemn the Israeli control of America's war machine, the money spigot that runs from New York and Tel Aviv would immediately dry up. Antagonists of the Jewish manhandling of the US would automatically be punished, driven from office and made a blatant example of.
In the United States of Zionist Jewmerica, things don't operate in a rational or ethical manner. We have a "Jewish" President, a "Jewish" Congress and a "Jewish" Senate. We even have a "Jewish" Supreme Court, regardless of whether it leans to the conservative or liberal end of the spectrum. I, for one, am going to send our politicians a message. I am not going to vote for a "Jewish" Republican or a "Jewish" Democrat for President. I guess I'll have to sit out the next election. But at least, at the very least, I will be able to live with my choice.
