Instead, what the Iranians discovered is that the Iraqis fought a hell of a lot harder when they were defending their own territory in Iraq than they had when they were operating in territory they took from Iran.

Personally, if I were Iraqi, I'd fight like hell to keep the Ayatolla Khomeini out, but would welcome the US with open arms. Not that I actually expect that to be a universal sentiment, but more common that you do, probably.

Parsing "The entire population of Iraq will not fight for or defend Saddam Hussein" it doesn't mean that no Iraqi would do same but that not all Iraqis will not do same. No?
