Strike against the US? Who said the insurgency's objectives have anything directly to do with the US?
Sorry, but the insurgency in Iraq is only indirectly aimed at the US military at best. There's only a few hundred thousand Americans on the ground in Iraq, and most of them are well-armed and ride in armored vehicles.
The push of the insurgency has been at the Iraqis themselves - why go for the smaller and far better-armed force when you can scare 30 million Iraqis into disorder and sectarian division? If even a large minority of Iraq's population starts to engage in sectarian fighting - in other words, a civil war - the US will not be able to do very much and will have to leave on their own. No matter how well US soldiers may be armed, they won't up to the task of trying to stand between a few million angry Iraqis out for each other's blood. Whether it can be stopped or not is another question.
That's how terrorism works - you try to scare people into something. And stop thinking it's always aimed at you - far from.
