I would class it as Genocide yes, but I don't know how the world politics distinguishes genocide via mass-murder, or if they do at all. For example Adolf Hitler committed mass-genocide, but Gadaffi has also slaughtered numerous so I don't know if it's classed as it.

"If we were to abandon that country before the Iraqis can defend their young democracy,
the terrorists would take control of Iraq and establish a new safe haven from which to launch new attacks on America."

"We can't tolerate a new terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East with large oil reserves that could be used to fund
its radical ambitions or used to inflict economic damage on the West."

An innocent oversight, I'm sure. Thanks for the research.
