I have no idea if that's true or not, but I don't think it has mmuch to do with wether or not the reistance represents Iraqis. Of course it represents some of them. Yes, if you were able to cut off all their funding and intercept all their weapons, you might well be able to crush them (and that might be very good) but THAT doesn't change representation either.

Representation is about what people want. You can argue about percentages, but a block of the Iraqi people want us out of the country badly enough to kill us. Take away their money and weapons and they'll still want us out.

That doesn't make me like them, or agree with them, or support them, or commit treason by mentioning them, I just think it's absurd to pretend they aren't there.
