Air Force spending only $4 million a day for Libya war

Granted there was additional cost of $30 Million for one plane that went down in Libya few days ago, isn't it bit pre-mature to start comparing these tiny costs to $50 Billion Iraq freedom war?

Eh. We'll have to wait until we can get in there and count bodies before we know which of our splendid little wars is giving us the most bang for the buck.

They have no reason what-so-ever to hide other costs to try to make the number seem lower.

$4 million too much

[JamesButabi]

How about the CIA since we know they have been on the ground. How about the Navy which has moved warships all around?

Any money used as far as im concerned is too much. We have no basis for involvement.

Did you mean civilian body count or total body count of all people killed? But is it even possible to track that, that would require more spending. As Tommy Franks said during Iraq freedom war, "we don't do body counts".

So far Iraq is winning hands down in bang for the buck area, besides the human toll and $50 Billion $3 Trillion costs, it also gave us Barack Hussein Obama and all that comes with him.

Did you miss this last sentence: "The total U.S. costs for the Libya air campaign as of March 28 were $550 million, not counting normal deployment spending."

It's not only the Air Force that is over there right now.

Will we also pay to rebuild the buildings and air strips we blew up?

I don't care if it only costs $0.50 a year... that is money which is being wasted (and last I checked 4 million dollars a day is still a significant sum). They are not only spending 4 million a day which does not have to be spent but they are wasting it by policing the world and murdering people who did nothing to us. Let them fight their own damn war!

Since when did the Air Force have money to spend? I thought it was the US citizens' money.
