THE COST OF THE WAR: It's obvious that the War on Whatever It Was in Iraq is draining lives and cash out of the US, but thanks to the National Priorities Project Americans are now able to find out on a state-by-state basis exactly what the poorly-planned Iraqi adventure is costing them. For example, Colorado has coughed up USD2.3billion and had 13 soldiers killed; South Dakota has had to find USD243 million and had six men killed. And George Bush's home state, Texas, has buried 92 soldiers, and spent some USD11.5 billion. For every year the US stays in Iraq past this Christmas, Texans will be having to find a further USD3.8 billion.
