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.

Media whores.
As expected, it was a Spin City “apology”
Late in the show, and morphing into a commercial break
“Mistake” my azz. A deliberate and ongoing lie
Only because he got caught out on it .... but not for 12 years ... wasn’t he with Hillary in Bosnia when they both came under snipper fire?
I think anyone would certainly remember correctly if they had been in a helicopter that was hit by an RPG and forced to land - just another MSM liar trying to look tougher than he is...

First they plant explosives in a truck, now this. But they have the balls to complain about Faux News?
Strip him naked, paint him purple, and give him to ISIS.
I agree. Not a mistake. A lie and he had the nerve to claim he did it to honor some soldier. Am I correct about that?
Ping.
You don’t forget when you were in the non-wrecked car and someone else was in the wrecked car.
So, you surely don’t misremember that you were in the shot helicopter. What a putz!
Why does this man still have a job?
Fake, but accurate.
Clinton ‘Misspoke’ About Bosnia Trip, Campaign Says
"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony
at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."
Hillary got off with a similar story.
It’s ok Brian. You see, you’re part of the lamestream media. Those of us with better than a room temperature IQ (ie. not liberals) already know that as part of the LSM you lie all the time. This lie does not surprise us at all.
