>> WASHINGTON (AP) -- The totalcostof the Iraq war is approaching the
>> Vietnam War's expense, a congressional report estimates, while
>> spending for military operations after 9/11 has exceeded it.
>> The new report by the Congressional Research Service estimates the
>> U.S. has spent $648 billion on Iraq war operations, putting it in
>> range with the $686 billion, in 2008 dollars, spent on the Vietnam
>> War, the second most expensive war behind World War II.
>> Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. has doled out
>> almost $860 billion for military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and
>> elsewhere around the world.
>> All estimates, adjusted for inflation, are based on the costs of
>> military operations and don't include expenses for veterans benefits,
>> interest on war-related debts or assistance to war allies, according
>> to the nonpartisan CRS.
>> The report underscores how the price tag has been gradually rising for
>> the war in Iraq, which began in March 2003. In late 2002, then-White
>> House budget director Mitch Daniels estimated the Iraq war wouldcost
>> $50 billion to $60 billion. A year later, L. Paul Bremer, then-chief
>> of the U.S. occupation government in Iraq, said the war wouldcost
>> $100 billion.
>> Yet the Iraq war has consumed less of the nation's gross domestic
>> product than other pricey conflicts. The Iraq war's costs represented
>> 1 percent of GDP in the peak year of the war. World War II, with a
>> $4.1 trillion price tag in 2008 dollars, was nearly 36 percent of GDP
>> and the Vietnam War was 2.3 percent of GDP in that wars' peak years.
>> The report says comparisons of war expenses over hundreds of years
