Its not a case of a new player in Iraq.
The whole team (army) has left, and the game (war) is over, but now members of the crowd (civilian militants) that lost the game keep jumping on to the pitch and kicking balls (attacking) at the goal (Americans) and either running away or blowing up in the process.

Sounds like American Football to me. The Offense left the field, but nobody would declare victory yet, because the Defense is lining up.
- Anyway, this all is nitpicking. In the history books, Iraq 2003-200x will be recorded as one single war only - the third Gulf War. Separate it into different stages if you wish, but that does not change it. When Nazi troops invaded the Balkans, Greece, France, they also defeated a regular army in these places, and then other types of enemies showed up to battle them: resistance fighters, partisans, and the like. But nobody ever thought of that as several different second world wars, but still just one. Nor was for example Stalingrad a war in itself, but just one battle.
Hm, I start typing too much again. Too much time this night. Glad that weekend is over...
