Professors Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes “followed up their 2008 book [titled, The Three Trillion Dollar War: the True Cost of the Iraq Conflict] with a September [5] 2010 Washington Post column, published as the United States ended what it dubbed its ‘combat operations’ in Iraq, arguing that their $3 trillion calculation was in fact too low–a notable claim, since the $3 trillion estimate had been markedly higher than previous projections.”
