"The enemy we're fighting," said army Lieut. General William Wallace last week, "is different from the one we'd war-gamed against." At least the commander of V Corps and the highest-ranking officer at the front was honest in assessing one of the most unsettling battlefield surprises: Iraqis are resisting vigorously.

What General Wallace actually said was: "The enemy we're fighting, is A BIT different from the one we'd war-gamed against."

So, starting with a lie from the NY Times, which offered their correction last week, this article can only descend further into lies and propaganda.

From Fox News Political Grapevine April 7, 2003:

Admitting an Error
Remember that correction we told you about last night, where The New York Times admitted that U.S. General William Wallace, who's leading five corps in Iraq, did not say the enemy we're fighting is different from the one we war-gamed against? What he said was that the enemy is "a bit different from the one we war-gamed against." Well, that quote actually first appeared in the Washington Post, which as of today, had made no attempt to correct it.
