Pay as you go, with the Iraq war

The world market voluntarily retro financed Bushe's Iraq war, says MS. Here a General Motors ruin, worth $30.000 without military fittings.

Cost of Iraq war $134.5 billion, an amount that is set to increase by $177 million daily, $7.4 million an hour and $122,820 a minute. In the last weeks global finance turmoil the Bank of Japan injected Y600bn ($5.07bn, €3.7bn), the European Central Bank injected €47.67bn (£32.2bn, following the €61.05bn on Friday.

The US Federal Reserve injected some $38bn into the system in three separate open market operations. So in total almost €140bn have been back dropped in to the money system to rescue the system from a brake down. J.W. Bush will enter in the Guinness book of records as biggest gambler since Adolph Chiddler.

The military's Transportation Command estimates that it costs $135,000 to send an MRAP by plane compared with $18,000 by ship. An Air Force C-17 can carry as many as three MRAP vehicles.

I wounder why General Motors, as biggest car maker of this world, did not make the vehicles safer. Are road side bombs something new in this century, some rumor says that the concept comes originally from the cold war and was fitted for secretaries to ride safe home in there Humers and then sold back to the army.

Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles better choice than armored Humvees. 3,500 MRAPs could be sent to Iraq by the end of 2007.
Rather than send them by ship, which takes weeks. The flight takes 13 hours. An Air Force C-17 can carry as many as three MRAP vehicles.

1 flight hour of a c-17 costs 20 hour’s maintain work, says MS
