Ask Lindy. She should know these things.
We've been shipping 100,000,000 barrels of oil back to the USof A every week for years now. That's just one tanker full.
Calculate the cost @ $60 barrel and that's about 6 BILLION DOLLARS per tanker.
Do the math:
24 Billion a month
288 Billion a year.
Cost of war is always over estimated but the largest part is shipping, supplies, and salaries. 170,000 soldiers @ 30k per year average = $5,100,000 dollars in salaries plus another few million for other contractors, security etcetera and you have about 10 million in salary expenses per year.
Think.
Even if each soldier uses $30,000 worth of food, supplies and ammunition that equals 5 billion per year.
So ONE tanker pretty much pays for the war for an entire year.
Halliburton gets 6 Billion in contracts per year.
That's ONE more tanker.
Iraq is profitable. "Oh yeah...big time."
Anyone tells you the war has costing us a trillion dollars never passed 3rd grade level math.
Each year we stay the more profit the USA makes. That's why Europe is DESPERATE to get the USA out of Iraq and are going to town for Democrats who also never passed 3rd grade level thinking.
Sure the media and military are singing another song - but who ya gonna believe...them or your friendly, connected SDAI-Tech1?
