I think it's more about the fact that insurgents think that the "new" Iraqi military and police forces are working for us and against them. Since we are apparently the infidel (who knew?), the fact that they are working with us must drive many of the insurgents to hate them, as well. Not to undercut the efforts or sacrifices made by the military, but why do we call them insurgents. We invaded them when they didn't want us there. They're fighting off a percieved threat (whether it be real or not) to their way of life. About 250 years ago we called those people "minutemen". Now all of a sudden that they're on the opposite side of the crosshairs we call them "insurgents". I'm not saying it's right or wrong...but it's a bit of a double standard.
