If the first team had completed the mission smoothly, he could announce the good news at a press conference, and everyone would praise him.

However, the first team was nearly annihilated, and a second team had to clean up the mess. Stephen could not bring himself to announce that. The enemy was just a small foreign faction, but they almost wiped out an elite squad. If Stephen revealed the news, he would only become a laughingstock.
