What is the cost of Fallujah?
Osama said that he will bankrupt the United States, so my question is related to the value of winning Fallujah compared to the cost of defending it. Considering what we are spending on high-tech weapons and equipment, are we spending $10 to every $1 spent to defend Fallujah? or is it closer to $100 to $1?

1. I bet 100-1
Not to mention the human cost of course...

We spent the USSR to death, now we'll do the same to ourselves
