Interesting Cost Breakdown

All I can say after reading these numbers in this week's Time Magazine report on our $87 Billion in Iraqi funding is:

Hmmmmm . . .

Military Related:

$41 Billion goes to miltary operations and maintenance

$18 Billion for troop salaries

$6 Billion for military supplies

$600 Million for military fuel and truck repairs

$400 Million for military building construction

$400 Million for military related miscellaneous costs


Iraq Direct:

$6 Billion for electricity projects

$5 Billion for Iraqi police and some new courthouses

$4 Billion for sanitation projects

$2 Billion for misc. infrastructure repairs

$900 Million for water system repairs

$900 Million for healthcare and medical supplies

$800 Million for new transportation and telecom systems

$500 Million for new housing projects

$400 Million for small business loans

$300 Million to help Iraqi's learn about human rights

$9 Million to create a zip code database

$6,000 per cell phone on a contract awarded for $3.6 Mil for 600 units.

$1 Million for a memorial building to document Saddam's atrocities

$400 Million for a new prison

$40 Million contract for a computer training course to teach Iraqis how to use PC's

$50 Million contract for traffic police

$700,000 renovations contract for the homes of 10 Iraqi officials

$1,200 per DAY! Daily salary paid to British and US security guards hired to protect projects under construction by American companies. Interesting to note an Iraqi security guard is paid only $8 per day for the same exact work. The US companies bill the US government 144 times the going rate for a guard there.

Prices paid to outfit a soldier:

Helmet $322.00

Nightvision Goggles $3,250

IR Targeting Light $560

Backpack $1,031

Body Armor $1,600

M4 Rifle $920

Uniform $70

Boots $100


Aahhh, American multinational capitalism and profiteering at its finest.

Nightvision Goggles $3,250
Is it really that expensive for nightvision goggles? I would imagine when the technology was first made it would be this expensive but the production costs would start to fall after a few years of mass-production?

that is probably the cost to have cell towers placed throughout the country they are breaking that cost down over the amount of cell phones innitially purchased


you figure we have all that infrastructure in place here in our countries now but remember when cell phones were super expensive back in the day when they had to install all those towers

And are they standard cell phones or satellite phones? Cell phone reception at my house sucks, can't imagine it would be much better in Iraq.

Per guard. $150 an hour salary.

I know its incredibly high risk, but the Iraqis will do it for $1 an hour. So what's up with that?

You think Iraqis have the training neccesary to guard anything important? Look how long it took for US to takeover Bahgdad.

Well if I remember correctly last year they exposed many marines who used their govt issued credit cad to get their girlfriends breast enlargments.

Maybe thats what they mean by "Operations"

They get govt. issued Mastercards with no restrictions or limits???

No wonder the phone sex biz took a drop when they stopped selling Hustler on army bases.
