How much raw cash did we lose in Iraq that one time? A planeful? A ton? I remember it being about 1 bil, and weighing about 1 ton.

Easy to lose money on that.  NOT so easy to lose a bomb, though.

To be fair, the US has lost a number of bombs, too. Nuclear bombs, too.

(that my not be the best source, but I know I've seen articles about it elsewhere)

A planeful of cash versus a bomb. I'd say they're about the same.

In Iraq?

It's way easier to do.  You just spend it.

"Citing" is pretty strong, I didn't realize that this was a formal debate.

Nobody seemed to dispute the point, though, unless you're actually disagreeing with the fact. I know I've seen it in various newspapers and other sources, but that was the first result on Google.
