83 Million Dollars

U.S. and British warships and submarines launched 110 Tomahawk missiles overnight against air defences around the capital Tripoli and the western city of Misrata, which has been besieged by Gadhafi's forces, U.S. military officials said.
That's about what it costs for the missiles alone. And that was on the first strike.

Bet that the only Tea-partier who will scream about the cost is Ron Paul, for Republicans are all for government spending if the end result is killing people. They'll cheer this on (they love seeing footage of explosions on Fixed News), but they'll squeal like raped pigs if there are any plans for post-conflict economic aid to the people of Libya.

    According to Wikipedia, Tomakhawks cost about $756,000 so it's a mill and a half more:
    112 * 756 000 = 84 672 000

    Picky, picky. But for those that remember Everett Dirkson, and the days of consensus politics, "A million here, a million there, pretty soon you're talking real money"
