The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Given the fact that Abu Taqwa and his al-Nujaba militia have been responsible for several attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria, this airstrike sought to neutralize him and is fully legitimate. Washington can't and won't refrain from taking action to protect its personnel from any threat they face.

Washington Examiner

Establishment-critical narrative

US-led Global Coalition Forces have outrageously violated their mandate and mission as well as the sovereignty and security of Iraq. This was an unwarranted deadly drone strike against one of the security headquarters in Baghdad. Such an act on par with terrorism can only escalate tensions and undermine understanding between Iraq and the Coalition.
