Afghan war costs $300 million a day: Pentagon


Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The withdrawal of American troops from Iraq will allow for a reduced US defense budget in 2012 but the war in Afghanistan still costs the United States close to 300 million dollars a day.

Under the Pentagon's proposed budget, the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will drop to $117.8 billion for fiscal year 2012, a reduction of 41.5 billion from the previous year.

As the US war effort winds down in Iraq, the budget sets aside $10.6 billion for "Operation New Dawn," with the remaining 50,000 US troops there due to withdraw by the end of 2011.

Spending for the Afghan mission calls for $107.3 billion, down slightly from the last budget, which requested $113.5 billion.
President Barack Obama has vowed to start a withdrawal in July of the roughly 97,000 troops now in Afghanistan.

Absolutely right Tara.  Empires built on dead mens bones will all fall down, the sooner it crashes, the better the chances of restoration.

.....and the war drum beats on while we all are getting poorer by the day. Soon enough, this empire will fall like all past empires built on military, might and an insatiable appetite to conquer the world.
