Well put and Welcome to DU:hi: if'n I haven't before.
Time Magazine last month quoted several Iraqis who said that the opposition at that point were radicals and Saddam followers and they said that when Saddam is found then the everyday Iraqi will start their attacks as they can not been seen as supporting Saddam at that point. Perhaps the rank and file are no longer worried about Saddam and are starting their attacks now.
It's a big bag of cash and our efforts to keep the number of hands out of it have left us alone and now Iraqis are trying to oust us so they can have more of a share. This is very much like what happened in the former Soviet Union after it fell, everyone staking their claim.
