Swell - now we have an economist estimating costs. Now let's compare the War on Terror in Iraq to the cost of:
World War I
World war II
War on Drugs
War on Poverty
and then compare benefits. One truth comes clear: when the word "War" includes something that is not fought by the military, it's very expensive and carries no benefit.

Yeah, lets see him calculate the cost of not going to war with Iraq. The anthrax was created the Iraq method, a method we cannot duplicate as our research took another path.
Mass plague deaths in American citys, glowing craters in place of major cities, these are a few of Saddams favorite things. With the find of major terrorist training camps in Iraq, along with the mass graves, I figure we got a bargin at twice the price.

did not intend to seek funds for reconstruction Doubly fallacious. Triply. Much that emerges from the MSM shares this characteristic.
