What am I missing?

You're missing that Bilmore's point was that the media's info was outdated, all was well in Samarra. Turns out that Captain Ed was wrong on that one.
I agree that it made sense to go back in, but it did not make sense to claim that Samarra was a happy place where the New Iraq was flourishing. Hopefully we have turned that tide.
