And whoever kept on asserting that July 2007 (time which the said event took place) was one of the most violent times in Iraq since it's occupation, a simple fact check reveals it to be untrue.

U.S. Casualties in Iraq

July 07 did not come even near the top ten most violent months, nor was 2007 the most violent year. It fell pretty much on the average. So there is really no need to make stuff up to overdramticize how bad it was.

Aye, as there really is no need to minimize what the situation was either.

As said before, there are so many things we do not know about what took place before this attack...was this soon after a real attack occurred a short distance away?
Were they looking for possible people who just committed an attack? Were these people in an area where fighting was taking place that is off camera?

We don't know, and we never will. Thus an intelligent and objective opinion cannot be attained.
