They are downplaying the situation. Saying, "Look we are doing something noble."

Government is contradictory. In some instances, they play up the fear card like nobody else can. In other instances, they are like mommies to two year olds trying to downplay instances that are cause for alarm (like the economy).

Kind of like how half the commercials on television are weight loss commercials and the other half are fast food commercials.
Fallujah~ Operation Phantom Fury
Baghdad~ Operation Spartan Scorpion
Thawra~ Operation Scorpion Sting
Baghdad (again)~ Operation Iron Bullet
Bayji and Samarra ~ Operation Ivy Serpent
Baghdad (again)~ Operation Ivy Needle
Northern Iraq~ Operation Eagle Curtain
Counterinsurgency~ Operation All American Tiger
Al Qaim~ Operation Rifles Blitz
Euphrates river (East)~ Operation Pit Bull

I could continue if you'd like. This is all a matter of public record. You should know this stuff right? Aren't you the expert on the Iraq War?
