	Iraq, Afghan wars exceed $700 billion in costs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have burdened the U.S. taxpayers with enormous debt critics say already costing some $314 billion, and the Congressional Budget Office projects additional expenses over the next ten years could be in the tune of $450 billion.
		Combined together the wars, especially the one in Iraq, are the most expensive military effort in the last 60 years, causing even some conservative experts to criticise the open-ended commitment to an elusive goal.
		Put simply, critics say, the war is not making the United States safer but it is harming U.S. taxpayers by burdening them with an enormous debt, since the war is being financed with deficit spending.

	People's Daily Online -- U.S. total costs for Iraqi, Afghan wars projected at 811 billion dollars
		Once the war spending bill is passed, military and diplomatic costs will have reached 101.8 billion dollars this fiscal year, up from 87.3 billion dollars in 2005, 77.3 billion dollars in 2004 and 51 billion dollars in 2003, the year the Iraqi war commenced, according to the report.

		Of the total war spending, the CRS analysis found that 4 billion dollars could not be tracked, and could not identify 2.5 billion dollars diverted from other spending authorizations in 2001 and 2002 to prepare for the invasion.
