Just so it doesn't get swept under the budget carpet.

6. Yes I caught it
though I don't think many other people did. I want to know how much this is costing us, I know the death toll, and I know the money, what I mean is how many tanks, helios, trucks, bradleys, humvees etc etc etc have we lost?

9. I think this makes somewhere around $180 - 190 billion . . .
Not certain, though - can anyone else pitch in here?
