The United States was in Iraq for multiple reasons and objectives which are more thoroughly outlined in the related question below: "What are the causes of the Iraq War of 2003-2011?"

The "Iraqis" are not homogenous, therefore they are not all fighting for the same objectives. There are a large number of Iraqis fighting in the reformed Iraqi Army that fought alongside American soldiers and now continue that same fight even without American military assistance. There is the Kurdish Peshmerga which continues to fight alongside the Iraqi Army in order to protect the Kurds' newly gained autonomy. Most of the regional insurgent groups operating in Iraq are fighting to preserve their local power. International groups like Al-Qaeda see the Iraqi government as an imposition and strive for its downfall.
