This is a fact that should have been envisioned prior to investing, come to think of it before invading Iraq.Invasion was due to the desire to control oil in Iraq.US may feel happy that they have lost some profit obtained in Oil.
Why invade a country when every one knows that, in the present age none conquer a country, much less govern it?
Consider this as operating costs and quit when your profit is good.

BAGHDAD — In its largest reconstruction effort since the Marshall Plan, the United States government has spent $53 billion for relief and reconstruction in Iraq since the 2003 invasion, building tens of thousands of hospitals, water treatment plants, electricity substations, schools and bridges.
Iraqis working to repair the Foreign Ministry building in Baghdad. A bombing there in August killed at least 60 people.
But there are growing concerns among American officials that Iraq will not be able to adequately maintain the facilities once the Americans have left, potentially wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and jeopardizing Iraq’s ability to provide basic services to its people.
