A good book to read about this is called "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict" by Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilmes. "This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans—for the rest of their lives." In the context of this newly acclaimed book and from what we know about the deceptions of Cheney and Bush, it is not too hard to believe that they would fire someone who dared to tell the truth about their illegal and unnecessary war.
