Cost of US war on ISIL passes $2 billion mark: Pentagon
2015-04-17
It costs a lot of money to have your house fumigated, too. If you need it and you don't spend it you'll regret it.
[Iran Press TV] The cost of military operations by the United States against the ISIL Takfiri

Death Eaters in Iraq and Syria has surpassed the $2 billion mark, the Pentagon reports.

"As of Mar. 26, 2015, the total cost of operations related to ISIL since kinetic operations started on Aug. 8, 2014, is $1.96 billion and the average daily cost is $8.5 million," Defense Department front man Bill Urban told The Hill on Thursday.

In December, the total cost of US military operations on the ISIL passed the $1 billion mark, according to The Hill.

A large chunk of the cost was incurred by US Arclight airstrikes targeting the ISIL Death Eaters in both Iraq and Syria, the report added.

The United States first launched its air raids in Iraq last August and then expanded the strikes to Syria last September.

#4  Once again, does this mean the US sould not challenge the ISIS, or IRAN, or CHINA in East Asia-WESTPAC, or Putin-led RUSSIA, or ... ...???

* TOPIX > [Examiner] ISIS IS OPERATING IN THE USA AND IS READY TO STRIKE AT ANY TIME.

* SAME > [Asia Times] THE WEST IS LOSING IN THE MIDDLE EAST NOT BECAUSE IT HAS A STRATEGY BUT BECAUSE IT HAS NO STRATEGY.

Save for causing anarchies-n-chaos everywhere by and for the sake of anarchies-n-chaos, wid no determinative or pre-determined outcome.

* GROONG > [Sputnik News] US WILL LOSE IN A NUCLEAR WAR AGZ RUSSIA: JEAN-PAUL BAQUIAST.

Russia + China likely to be in better post-NucWar or post-NucExchange national condition unlike the US which will be utterly destroyed.
