#1 I consider this to be a very good sign! IMHO, that they are acknowledging their losses shows that this is a done deal. Hope they are smart enough to figure out they can still be "with us" instead of "against us", while still coming out waaaay ahead of where they would have been with Sadaam. That concept of "compound interest", it's magic, I tell you! MAGIC!

#2 So much for the Oil-for-GPS-Jammers deal.

#3 As we continue to find banned weapons supplied by Russia to Iraq, we may also want to cut our losses by stopping all other funding to Russia, whether it's 'foreign aid' or 'investment', or just plain graft. Russia has proven it's still our enemy, not someone who is interested in being a partner.

#4 "... The Americans haven't gone into this war intending to share with anyone."

We learned how to share in primary school. There's a give and take though, taught in the Chicken Little story - if you share in the responsibility and work, then you share in the product of that responsibility and work. Hinder or undercut that work, and your losses will be cut for you, and deeply. (To mix and garble metaphors.)
