U.S. spends $2 billion total on Libya operations

According to the Pentagon, the cost to U.S. taxpayers for Muammar Gaddafi’s head totaled $1.1 billion through September.

Vice President Joe Biden said that the U.S. "spent $2 billion total and didn’t lose a single life." NATO does not track the operational costs to each member country, but the funds directly taken from a common NATO account for Libya operations have totaled about $7.4 million per month for electronic warfare capabilities and $1.1 million per month for headquarters and command staff, a NATO spokesman said, according to National Journal.
