520			_a"The permanent military domination of the world is an expensive business. Last September [2003], having already spent $79 billion in Iraq and Afghanistan, George W. Bush asked Congress for an additional $87 billion to sustain the effort another year. Within hours, the White House admitted that even this was a lowball estimate. L. Paul Bremer, Bush's proconsul in Iraq, said the cost of reconstructing that nation alone was 'almost impossible to exaggerate.' In total, military spending next year will likely reach half a trillion dollars, more in real dollars than was spent even in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War." (HARPER'S) This article discusses the "rapidly expanding cost of the Iraq war," noting that the potential profit "for the private contractors that increasingly make up the infrastructure of our armed forces" is enormous.
