Die Kosten des Irak-Krieges
The Iraq Quagmire: The Mounting Costs of the Iraq War (January 30, 2006)
This fact sheet from the Institute for Policy Studies/Foreign Policy in Focus provides a running tally of the various costs and consequences of the US war and occupation in Iraq. As of January 30, 2006, 2,238 US troops and as many as 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed. In addition, the $251 billion spent on the war to date (less than a quarter of the war’s $1.3 trillion total projected cost) could have been used to fully immunize every child in the world while also fully funding global anti-hunger and HIV/AIDS programs.
The Economic Costs of the War in Iraq (September 2005)
In this joint report, the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution provide a comprehensive estimate of the direct costs, both present and future, of the war in Iraq. While US budgetary allocations for the war total $212 billion, “the actual direct cost…[includes] the opportunity cost of resources used in the conflict that cannot be used elsewhere and the welfare losses of those killed and wounded.” At the time of publication this sum comes to $429 billion, while cost estimates through 2015 are projected to exceed $1 trillion.
