That isn't even considering the post-war cost.

You are going to have to pay for the post war after the Iraqi leader has been removed. The initial post-war phase of the occupation and reconstruction of Iraqi as been estimated to be at another $900-million.

My money is on the US abandoning Iraq after a few years, and the Iraqi people being worse off than before just because the US can't really aford it and have no real post war plan. Bush isn't one who is able to look to far ahead, he is more a here and now type person. They is also why his environmental policies are horrible, as well as alienating allies.
