Cost of the Iraq War by info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Linda Blimes spoke about the costs of the war in Iraq, which she projected to reach $5 trillion. Those projections exceed the original figures in her book [The Three Trillion Dollar War], which she co-authored with economist Joseph Stiglitz in 2008. She outlined the various sorts of expenditures, including rising veterans benefits, and criticized the government for lack of proper war accounting. "The Trillion Dollar War-And Counting" was part of the program "America's Second-Longest War: Taking Stock" held by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on the tenth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311648-2
