FARPOINT FACTOID

Seventy billion dollars for fiscal year '07 were approved for U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan last fall. Another $100 billion is being requested. About 90 percent of these dollars are for Iraq; say, $150 billion.

Divide by 365, that's $411,000,000 per day. Divide that by 24 hours, and that's $17 million per hour.
