Americans looted Iraq oil, so that war wasnt that costly. They tried to do the same with Afghanistan lithium mines, but in 20 years Americans never ever able to control the land greater than 50%. So the majority of Bush war cost wjich amounts to 10-20T weigh down by Afghan humiliating defeat.

The Iraq War actually made Iraqi oil fields less productive, contributing to a rise in global oil prices - yet another indirect cost of the war.
