Gauging the cost of the Iraq war is fairly easy. There's the exinditures by the US government all tabulated.
The other side of the equation is much harder to quantify, as no one seems to be able to agree on what the objectives really were.
For instance, one purpose of the war is said to be funelling money to Dick Cheney's pals at Halliburton.
Halliburton has made about 5 billion dollars in net income (from all opperations, not just Iraq) since the Iraq War started. The war is costing over a trillion dollars. If the war is being faught for Halliburton's bottom line, it's running at less than 0.5% efficiency.

2% sounds about right to me. Awful decisions have been made by this administration from the start. To the detriment of our armed forces.
