A new report puts the price tag for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
at $12 billion dollars a month. The Congressional Research Service,
which compiled the report, found that Congress has approved $610
billion dollars for military expenses since the 9-11 attacks. A total
of $450 billion dollars have gone to the war in Iraq. The Pentagon
spends 5 times as much money per month on the war in Iraq than on the
