Total U.S. Cost of Military Action in Libya Confirmed at 3 Days Worth of Afghanistan War

By war-on-terror standards, the U.S. involvement in Libya was a real bargain, according to new figures released by the Department of Defense.

After months of helping rebels take down Muammar Gaddafi, the U.S. has wound up paying just under $900 million.

That’s how much the U.S. spends in just three days fighting the Afghanistan war. In fact it’s less than U.S. taxpayers spend for 17 days’ worth of air-conditioning for American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Obama administration has requested $107 billion pay for the Afghanistan campaign in the coming fiscal year. That comes out to about $293 million a day.

1. I have to admit, the more encouraging the Libyan outcome looks

the more discouraging Afghanistan looks...

2. And that makes it all right?

The war in Libya isn't over, any data publicly released by this Administration esp. involving the military/industrial/CIA complex is probably a lie, and it's very early days in the occupation (undeclared)/proxy war on a former US puppet.
