This article smells please read it again.
Lt. Gen. James Conway is not the top U.S. Marine General.
That would be General Pace.....
Aticle Title has been taken out of context from 2nd. paragraph.
"we were simply wrong" he said of the assessment that chemical weapons were ready in southern Iraq and likely to be used be used against invaders by deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's forces."
1st paragraph
But Lt. Gen. James Conway said in a telesconference with reporters that it was too early to say whether the United States was wrong in charging that Iraq had chemical and biological arms when they invasion began 2 1/2 months ago.

Bingo. I was about to mention your second point, but had missed your first. I started to ping the Admin Moderator, because one of the AMs had done quite a lot of research on exactly this kind of misrepresentation--then thought better of it, since a number of people work under the same official moniker. Didn't want to get the thread pulled or anything! But this is a pefect example of one of the ways we are regularly misled by the media.

Now that you've pointed out those items, it makes me wonder how many other inaccuracies are in this story...
