For the price of the Iraq War, we could've bought each Iraqi woman the clothes and accessories that the Republican Party has bought Sarah Palin during her Vice Presidential run.
According to 2005 estimates, there are 13.3 million women in Iraq. The Republican Party recently made headlines by buying Sarah Palin over $150,000 of clothes and accessories during her run. Providing every Iraqi woman with the clothes and accessories that Sarah Palin purchased would cost $2.0 trillion, $1 trillion less than Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes' estimate of $3 trillion for the total cost of the Iraq War.
