1. It was about Bush
That's all. Some profited, many died. But all along, it was about him.

12. Actually there are hundreds of thousands dead.
And also don't forget that $747.3 billion is only what has already been spent, there are hundreds of billions more that have not actually been spent yet but will be. Even if we were to get out of there today this war would still end up costing us at least $2 trillion.
