The cost of a war with Iran is not likely to be 3x the cost of a war with Iraq.

The primary costs in Iraq were the cost of creating and sustaining a system of occupation within Iraq. It required maintaining 150,000+ troops and another 100,000 contractors within Iraq and completely rebuilding the Iraqi infrastructure.

There is absolutely no one, even in WINEP that would suggest the prolonged occupation of Iran. The proposed options for dealing with Iran stop at air strikes on Iranian military facilities and nuclear sites. The cost of such an operation is not likely to be anywhere near the cost of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

You are using a straw man argument and it is intellectually dishonest.

Dear Mr Wolfowitz: You said the same thing about Iraq. Once you initiate hostilities,
you don’t know what you will be required to try to do.
