WHO CARES? IT’S GOING ON THE CREDIT CARD ANYWAY: White House won’t estimate cost of ISIS war.

The White House does not have an estimate on how much the war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will cost.

Pressed on that point Monday, press secretary Josh Earnest wouldn’t give a ballpark figure for how much the administration expected military operations to cost.

“I don’t have an estimate on that,” Earnest said. “I know that we’re interested in having an open dialogue with Congress to ensure that our military has the resources necessary to carry out the mission that the president has laid out.”

So far, the administration has relied on the Overseas Contingency Operations budget to pay for operations against the terrorist group. The White House had previously requested a cut in that pool — from $85 billion to $58.6 billion — for the next fiscal year, but lawmakers decided instead to keep funding at current levels in the temporary budget measure passed last week.

The White House also indicated it would seek funding for the effort against ISIS from international partners. So far, more than 40 countries have said they would support a coalition effort against the terror network.

I’ll believe it when the checks clear. Meanwhile, why aren’t we killing ISIS’s “angel investors” in Qatar and around the Gulf?

UPDATE: From the comments: “If we kill rich Arabs, who will pay Obama’s speaking fees after he leaves office?”
