The war against the Iraqi army is over. That ended last year.

Yes... We are still engaged in conflict, except now it is with terrorists and assorted Islamozoid factions. The old Iraqi government no longer exists. The old Iraqi army no longer exists. They crumbled. That phase of the war is in the past. That part of the mission was accomplished. The government knew Iraq would be a focal point for Islamic terrorists. This is a different phase of the war. The next phase of the war is fighting them in conjunction with forces from the new Iraqi government.
