And every time they go out on patrol it costs us gas. Yet every time they go on patrol here in the states it still costs us the same amount in gas.
Every dime spent in Iraq would have been spent if we went over there or not.

Correction time:
- Number of US troops: about 135,000
1) A heavy proportion of those troops are National gards, reservists and so on ( not on active duty in the US) . They would not be paid what they are paid now.
2) Ammunition, bombs, arms, apache , Tomahawks used and done with are a supplement cost, a big one.
3) Cost of Haliburton alone is one that would not be if not at war ( hummmm, maybe we just found the WMD ...)
And foremost:
COST OF HUMAN LIFE
So your answer, as usual, was BS.
