Translation

It's always fun when the U.S. military contradicts itself within the confines of a single sentence:

U.S. soldiers in Humvees drove through the neighborhood with loudspeakers, telling people to stay inside because coalition forces were "cleaning the area of armed men". [Emphasis added.]

In addition to the self-contradiction, the military didn't get that last bit quite right. Here's the sentence as it should read, with the changes in italics:

"...'cleansing' the area of armed niggers."

But, isn't Arab-"cleansing" supposed to be Israel's job?
