How much is enough?

It has cost the US taxpayer upwards of 300 billion USD. Now we are told this is not enough.

Of course the money is the smallest bit of the price the world has paid. There have been nearly 3,000 deaths among the "coalition" forces, between 50,000 and 100,000 civilian deaths, countless soldiers and civilians physically wounded and maimed, thousands with psychological damage, hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced persons. The currency of human lives continues to flow into the bottomless pit that is this misguided war.

Can anyone tell how much will be enough? Can anyone even tell me when we will know?
