Those 400K missiles are bought in the good ol US of A and not in mexico or china, so that money just rotates within the US economy, what's lost is to some chemicals and electronics, and I think they actually rely largely on non-chinese parts for the electronics too. So there is a loss to import from some chemicals but not even near the $400K asked for the rockets, nope, most of that money that's spent on ordinance lands in companies like those owned by cheney and bush's family..
Also all those calculations of how much the occupation/destabilization takes don't subtract the money the army would require when the soldiers were at home I bet, they get payed then too you know, and I don't think they subtract the normal running cost that would be spent anyway from the expense the iraq occupation/destabilization creates when they throw around figures. (I might be wrong though)
Not that it's not stupid and messy and pointless and creating more issues than solving them of course.
