Well because the American's basically disbanded the Iraqi army, pretty much all of them ended up fighting for the Al Qaeda front in Iraq, not because they were true believers, but because they got a paycheck.
The biggest American mistake when they won the war was discharging most of the Iraqi soldiers in a move to reform an army that wasn't professional or particularly admired by their own country. The good news was they replaced then with an army that wasn't particularly professional or admired within their own country. So kudos.
