Have to do some research later on which war has cost more (dollars) , Iraq or the Stan. My money is on Stan just because it was longer, so I might need to metric it or something. It would be neat to see that the war that will really bankrupt us is the one that no one cares to stop.

As a partial answer to myself, I found this showing that indeed, Iraq did, at least to this point, cost more than the Stan. I guess that does make since as there was an actual army that needed killing there and an entire urban warfare scene that got out of control. In my reading, though, it does talk about logistics being a MAJOR problem in the Stan. For every dollar you want to spend there, you have to spend even more dollars to get that money on the ground...more so than Iraq which is just a drive up the road from Kuwait. Which means that out of that 400 billion spent on the Stan, much less of that money was spent on actually fighting than in Iraq, the Stan is a very ineffective war in comparison. Like Napoleon invading Russia, or the Soviet Union in.... Afghanistan (sigh), this is a great war to spend lots of money doing very little. On a positive note, I guess, this is the last spinning war plate. Well, that is until we decide to hurl missiles at some other person we don't like, in the name of freedom of course.

@GeeSussFreeK I was gonna also contest the "no one cares to stop [the Afghanistan War]".

I do, and the last several polls I saw on the subject showed like 60% of people being opposed to it.

Plus, this guy says he intends for Afghanistan to be on its own by 2014 (too long IMO, but better than never).

Certainly though, nobody in the Republican field cares to stop the Afghanistan War. I mean, Republicans still came out of the woodwork to say Obama did something wrong by ending the Iraq War.

And they're still talking about war with Iran too.

People familiar with International Law and Morality didn't agree with the Afghan War in the first place.
