The irony of the CIA formation
CIA is under the leadership of Carmichael, and he expects all his junior staff to work closely with him to achieve the organization's objectives. Carmichael knows that he is at the top of the CIA, and nobody knows the secrets of the entity. Ironically, Court Gentry is on another level despite being a junior officer in the CIA. For instance, Court Gentry knows all the secrets of the CIA and is the smartest of all employees. In the case of retaining Court Gentry as the most valuable asset of the CIA, Carmichael sees him as a threat and orders Hansen to kill him on sight. Carmichael's order to kill Gentry is not received well by other CIA agents such as ex-director Fitzroy and Cahill. Cahill and Fitzroy work closely with Court Gentry to help him remain safe.
Shooting of the burning bodies
The local armed boys who rush to the scene of the airplane wreckage are ironic characters. Despite seeing the burning bodies in the cockpit, they reload their rifles to shoot at them. The people on the wreckage plane are already dead, but the boys are shooting at corpses believing that they are the ones who killed the soldiers. Instead, the boys should have directed their reloaded rifles at the approaching armed Al Qaida terrorists in three pickup trucks from their back.
The irony of manipulated news
Al Qaida wants the whole world to believe they are winners in Northern Iraq and some parts of Syria. They smuggle Al Jazeera journalists to achieve their objective of manipulating news. The work of the smuggled journalists is to provide distorted and manipulated information about the war in Iraq. For instance, the journalists only provide images of the dead American soldiers to show the world that Al Qaida is winning the war. On the contrary, Al Qaida victims are the majority, but their images are not shown in the media. Therefore, it is ironic for Al Qaida to manipulate news about their win when they know they lost in the war.
