Unbe­liev­able:

In Wash­ing­ton, the State Depart­ment insisted that US pol­icy in Iraq was suc­ceed­ing and denied that polit­i­cal nego­ti­a­tions had col­lapsed, only that they had paused. “Come on, let’s not blow this out of pro­por­tion,” said spokesman Adam Ereli. He denied reports of wide­spread vio­lence, speak­ing of “some incidents”.

Look, I’m really sorry real­ity is intrud­ing on your lit­tle fan­tasy but a lot of peo­ple are prob­a­bly going to die in the com­ing days and weeks because of the idea that if you just repeat some­thing enough times, it will come true.
Enough already. Shut your mouths; you peo­ple in Wash­ing­ton have caused enough dam­age already.
