More and more the Iraqis are seeing their own fighting with the Americans and it's finally getting through to them that we're on THEIR side in this. The result is more and more Iraqis turning in the bad guys.
Pretty hard to consider us "occupiers" when most of the faces you are seeing are your own people.
