The Pentagon estimates that it is spending $7 million to $10 million per day in Iraq and Syria, Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters Thursday. That annual cost of $2.5 billion to $3.65 billion pales compared with the cost of fighting in Afghanistan. In fiscal year 2013, the Pentagons budget for Operation Enduring Freedom — most all of it spent in Afghanistan — totaled $77.7 billion. Thats a daily burn rate of more than $212 million per day. Costs in the current fiscal year, through June 30, have been $40.9 billion.
