If you were an Iraqi wouldn't you be a bit ambivalent at this point? They see the eroding support of this war here and the outright hostility to it world wide. They have no experience with the United States finishing the job in any conflict since WW2. Why should they go out again and have the rug pulled out from under them like we did when the Kurds rebelled and the Shia rebelled after the first gulf war?
Because they aren't freepers with a political agenda. They are a people waking up to a new world.
