Based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard public finance lecturer Linda J. Bilmes, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) recently determined that the Iraq war costs $720 million per day, $500,000 per minute -

The National Priorities Project (NPP) also has a new report on the Bush Administration's latest $50 billion spending request, which would bring the
total cost of the Iraq War to $617 billion.
