Williams, the anchor of the "NBC Nightly News," apologized on Wednesday for claiming -- as recently as last Friday -- that he'd been aboard a helicopter that was "forced down after being hit by an RPG." The incident happened on March 24, 2003. A Chinook helicopter was forced down by enemy fire. But Williams was not aboard. Stars and Stripes reported on Wednesday that "Williams arrived in the area about an hour later on another helicopter," one that "took no fire and landed later beside the damaged helicopter due to an impending sandstorm from the Iraqi desert." Williams is blaming a foggy memory. "I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago," he said on Wednesday's "Nightly News," specifically addressing his false comments from last Friday.

I forgot about winning the Medal of Honor until my wife, Morgan Fairchild, reminded me.

He “misremembered”.... ROFL....

That’s a new one! (will have to remember that)

[reagandemocrat]

Well, at least he remembered to scrub his Twitter account of any/all “memories”

Well, there goes the value of my “Brian Williams, Fighting Scribe” action figure. He was still in the box and everything.

I’ll trade you my Hillary Clinton - Sniper Dodging First Liar action figure. She isn’t in the box. She’s in the bottle.

You mean “The Lioness of Tuzla?”

Is she the Hallmark version?
I’ve got the Hasbro ‘Medal Tossing, Hippie John Kerry In Dirty Fatigue Jacket’.
I’ll throw that in with Brian for your ‘Bounding Hillary’ IF it has the price tag and it’s the extra large cankles version.

Article, then # 18, #21.

Thanks, Jet Jaguar. How many more lies has he told?

[Smokin' Joe]

A mistake? I bet if he'd ever been in a helicopter hit by an RPG he wouldn't make that 'mistake' again. He would for d@mn sure know the difference.

Unreal.

[Jane Long]

@NBCNightlyNews how many #BrianWilliamsWhoppers tonight?

[Gator113]

Williams should be fired, but I doubt that he will be.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. How many times has this anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life POS used that weapon?
