He "wouldn't have chosen to make this mistake". How do you chose to make a mistake? Wouldn't that be intentional and not a mistake then? Self important liar.

What Brian Williams really meant was "I feel terrible about (getting caught) making this mistake'. Maybe Brian is planning on running for president now. It's a good reminder of Hillary's exposure to combat.

This is what Cheryl Attkisson reported:

This is Hillary's edited video of what she says happened:

On case you're not aware, one of these videos is a fake. Can you guess which one, the future of your country could depend on it?

There is something about people that make false claims of experiencing things that happen in combat. Why do they do it? There is also something about how veterans feel about those that make such false claims. I still feel that those that testified about the atrocities committed with John Kerry in front of Congress, the ones that were never even in the military, should be taken out back and shot. It's ironic how all these topics and incidents intermingle. Are there no honest people left anymore?

Hillary claimed to have been shot at as well. Is there a vaccine against LBS disease?

So he misremembered being in a helicopter that was shot down, when, in fact, he was not ever in a helicopter that was shot down.

Reverse traumatic memory repression? Reverse traumatic memory invention? What a dumbass POS.

The anti-military left seems to pride itself on being (falsely) involved in military scenarios. Hypocrisy in the extreme.

fox news played his apology as it was aired i guess yesterday. even in that apology he embellished the fact that they were in the desert and for 2 days in a dust storm as if that nullified not being shot down. he as are so many of the talking heads on the news are all politicians. now he can correctly state that he is NOT the most trusted man in america. he should take a seat along side 0.

And the mainstream media wonders why their readership/viewership continues to plummet? They are not content to REPORT the news, they feel they must SHAPE the narrative (or in this case, BE the story).

He's an out right LIAR and his only regret is being called out on it.

What an idiot! How does one misremember events like these. Just bolsters the claim that Liberalism is a incurable Mental Disorder!!

Stolen Valor; turn our veterans lose on him.

I think I remember Barbara Bush making a comment during the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky affair that no man ever "forgets" having a blowjob performed on him. Well, I would think that nobody would ever "forget" beingshot down in a helicopter either. That would be an experience you would remember for the rest of your life. Brian Williams is also the scumbag who recently said how proud he was of his daughter, who had some nude sex scene on some HBO special or series or whatever it was (I didn't see it). You can always tell a Liberal by their low-life nature.

What a complete dickbag. And now he won't come clean and say "I'm sorry, I lied", but makes up some BS about mixing up the story? Seriously? And people out there believe his crap.

And... people believe the crap he spouts on the news every night. Makes you wonder how much more him and the rest of the media willingly lies about and never gets caught on.

How do you "misremember" being in a helicopter crash?
I've always wondered if Williams wasn't showing signs of dementia.

he's the perfect spokesman for nbc, yes? -- j

He is a Liberal Talking Head, POS, just like that 'Stolen Valor' POS Blumenthal who is a U.S. Senator for Connecticut.
I wonder when that Liberal Socialism that calls itself a state, who knowing all about Blumenthal, elected him, will sail south and abut itself to Cuba, begging Raoul for leadership?

I never listened to him nor cared to. He was looking for status or hero-worship and anyone looking for it would typically not deserve it anyway. As Miss Rand might say if asked 'What do you think if him?, I don't.

What other lies has he told over the last 12 years?

How do you mistakenly think you were in a helicopter when it was shot down, but you really weren't and were only talking to the people that rode it down?

I can't even wrap my mind around him thinking this "apology" makes any sense!

"I have no idea how my brain mysteriously invented a whole traumatic story that never happened. I can assure you that the best medical minds in the world are working on figuring out how I became a victim of this horrible erroneous claim. Whoever is responsible for this mistake of recollection will be found.

"I wasn't to thank the American people for their support during this very difficult time but my family and I ask for privacy so I can put all of my energy into my recovery."

When the story becomes the reporter it is time to go the way of Rather. I don't believe for a nanosecond he "misremembered." What else has he embellished or colored?

He never says he lied just like Clinton never said he had sex. Let me jump into this clown’s lies with some red ink (ALL CAPS):

“(HAD I KNOWN I’D GET CAUGHT) I would not have chosen to make this mistake (LIE),” Williams said. “I don’t know what screwed up in my mind that caused me to conflate (LIE ABOUT) one aircraft with another (IT’S CALLED SIN, SPINELESS PRIDE & TOTAL DISRESPECT FOR THE MILITARY).”

Williams told his Nightly News audience (MINDLESS FOLLOWERS) that the erroneous claim (LIE) was part of a "bungled attempt" (FABRICATED LIE) to thank (GET CREDIT FOR THE SACRIFICE OF) soldiers who helped protect him in Iraq in 2003. “I made a mistake (I LIED) in recalling (DELIBERATELY FALSIFYING) the (FABRICATED) events of 12 years ago,” Williams said. “I want to apologize (NOW, 12 YEARS LATER, BECAUSE I GOT CAUGHT, I’LL SAY “I WANT TO APOLOGIZE” BUT I AM NOT ACTUALLY DOING SO IF YOU LISTEN. I’M JUST SAYING "I WANT TO APOLOGIZE," NOT, “I APOLOGIZE.” IT’S JUST TO FOOL YOU BECAUSE I REALLY MEANT TO LIE THINKING I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT).”

What's interesting is that those who experience traumatic events are the least likely to recount them voluntarily. It took me 20 years before I would admit to myself, much less disclose to anyone that I had been a target of a KGB assassination attempt, and friends who went through Vietnam combat experiences only discussed them when a question about scars came up. People who too readily discuss supposed dangerous experiences should be eyed with suspicion.

He kept the delusion up until he was called on it. I wonder what other things he "misremembered"? I think it would be a good idea to check on all his reporting so we wouldn't have to wait many years to get the truth.

Something can be said for intuition.. I never liked him, I always turned off the TV if his face appeared.. I just told my mom that last week when I refused to watch the news with her because I couldn't stand his face and she thought I was being cynical. Well...
