some of those America is trying to save

Two possibilities:
1. they didn't want to be saved in the first place, or
2. they don't have the courage needed to have their own country.

Either way, if they aren't willing to help with the protection of the Americans, they will lose the Americans, who will go home and never be heard of again.

I'd say it's this group among the true Iraqi's that is making it difficult.

A senior British member of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, told the BBC that the people carrying out the attacks were a "nasty mix".
He said they were supporters of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, "imported terrorists", and criminals released from jail by the former regime before it fell.

And we didn't help ourselves in the previous conflict by listening to the UN and pulling out before the job was completed.

How many ways can we reassure the true Iraqis we're here to stay? So that they will come forward quicker to help save themselves.
