3 biliony za vojnu v Iraku?
Prezident US obhajuje tvrdenie, ze predpokladane naklady na vojnu v Iraku vo vyske 3 biliony USD su prehnane. Ini tvrdia, ze realne to moze byt 4-5 bilionov.
Notwithstanding President Bush's response, our original estimate of the cost of the Iraq war was too conservative: in reality, it will be much higher.
President Bush has tried to give the impression that the $3 trillion dollar estimate of the total cost of the war that we provide in our new book may be exaggerated.
In adding up the quantifiable costs of the war, it is hard not to come up with a number in excess of $3 trillion. In putting a $3 trillion price tag on the war, we believe we have been excessively conservative - a $4 or $5 trillion tag would be more reasonable. And remember - this is just the cost for America.
