Yup. I don't have time to search but here's a few of my favorite quotes on cost: http://www.house.gov/schakowsky/iraqquotes_web.htm Here's one from Rummy: "Well, the Office of Management and Budget, has come up come up with a number that's something under $50 billion for the cost.

[Source: Senate Appropriations Hearing, 3/27/03 And some of Rummy's better lines such as, "I doubt [the Iraq war] will last six months" http://thinkprogress.org/2006/08/03/rumsfeld-iraq-rosy/ Last weeks Sunday morning shows had some great ones too.
