Now Available: New Analysis of Request for $72.4 Billion for War-Related Funding The Iraq War continues unabated after nearly three years and costs continue to mount. Last week, the administration submitted to Congress a $72.4 billion request for additional war-related funding. The National Priorities Project's (NPP) analysis of the request concluded that total spending on the Iraq War will rise to more than $315 billion, if approved. NPP's new publication, Cost of Iraq War Rises, offers you local and state taxpayer costs of the Iraq War, as well as additional information about what is included in the administration's request. To find information for your city, county, or state, or obtain additional analysis of the administration request, go to: <http://www.nationalpriorities.org/iraqwarcost>http://www.nationalpriorities.org/iraqwarcost NPP estimates that the request will add another $61 billion in funding to the Iraq War, and $10 billion for the war in Afghanistan. Other funding included is $900 million for international assistance and peacekeeping activities in parts of Africa and Pakistan. In addition to the financial cost in Iraq, casualties continue to grow, with at least 28.500 Iraqis dead, insurgent attacks in 2005 higher than in 2004, and a doubling of car and roadside bombs. More than 2,279 U.S. soldiers have been killed. The number of U.S. military casualties by state is also available at: <http://www.nationalpriorities.org/iraqwarcost>http://www.nationalpriorities.org/iraqwarcost
