I agree that "attack" is not inherently POV but... I'm more familiar with the word "attack" being used to describe the campaign. If this is also true with a majority of other English speakers then the word "attack" should be used regardless of the fact that the operation is more appropriately called an invasion.
Well at the beginning, it wasn't an invasion, it was largely aerial bombing. Since "attack" covers both these, it seems a not-unreasonable word to use.
