It is illegal to use the resources of Iraq to pay for the cost of the US army of occupation. That is where 90% of the money is going -- only a small fraction of what we are spending will do anything to reconstruct Iraq. Given the mess we are in, I find it hard to understand how you can say that France and Russia "lost". So far, America is the big loser. Specific special interests connected to the Bush Administration might win big contracts because of the US invasion, but America has not won anything at all at this point, except the right to pump hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for occupying Iraq -- not to mention thousands of wounded and hundreds of dead young Americans.
