A Little Cost-Benefit Question

Ignoring the horrible fact a 6 month old is one of the dead, how much fucking money did the military spend to kill the other 2 people? And were the others innocent too?

A U.S. air strike in Baghdad's Sadr City district killed at least three people on Tuesday when U.S.-led forces mounted their latest raid in the hunt for death squads and a kidnapped U.S. soldier, Iraqi officials said.

Iraqi Health Ministry spokesman Abdul Ahdi said the dead included a six-month-old infant and that up to 50 people had been wounded. Other Iraqi officials put the number of wounded at 15.

The Interior Ministry said U.S. and Iraqi forces raided the sprawling slum suburb of about 2 million at 5 a.m. (0200 GMT), sparking clashes with militiamen loyal to Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

The U.S. military said it was checking the reports.
