The headline of this article says it all.
The writer focuses on the upheaval in Iraq, and makes a good point that because most foreign reporters/journalists only work in areas where American/Allied forces are, and the majority of the country is not under control of the Americans, it means that there's so much that's going on that's being missed by the Western media.
Many issues are described here, with the unsuitability of American military tactics to fighting and maintaining order, and the need for more troops to restore peace. Of course, with more troops will be greater bitterness and anger at the US and consequently greater resistance.
