Most troops,more cost

President Bush’s plan for buildup troops in Baghdad called for sending 21,500 extra U.S. combat troops to Iraq, mainly to Baghdad and the estimated cost was $5.6 billion.

The total number of troops required for the plan is still uncertain, and climbing. When President Bush announced the boost of 21,500 combat troops, the Pentagon said others would be required to go with them in support roles. The initial estimate of 2.400 support troops has doubled and may go higher.

Along side with the climbing number of troops to be sent to Iraq, the cost will rise to an extra $1 billion on top of the original $5.6 billion. The actual cost will be based on how long the troop’s reinforcement is sustained.
