anti- Iraqi forces????

This is from the BBC. It appears the US military has once again changed the 'status' of the Iraqis fighting against 'occupation'. By this method of thinking I assume that the US military now considers all American Revolutionary soldiers and leaders to be anti-American. If there is some flaw in that bit of deductive reasoning I'd like to know what it is. Oh I know all the wingnut arguments alright but none of them hold up.

"Initial reports indicate that approximately 50 anti-Iraqi forces were killed during a series of operations near Samarra on 14 August," a US military statement said.
(emphasis mine)

By US military I am of course referring to the so called 'high brass'. The average soldier is of course a proud and dedicated American. But it sure looks as though the planners of everything the US has done militarily for the past 3 years are hell bent on destroying America. And this latest stupidity in attacking the Iraqis is another big step in that direction.
