| Non-Commissioned Officer ![]() | White House: Bush Erred on Mustard Gas ![]() Once again, President Bush misspoke on a weapons issue, telling the nation that 50 tons of mustard gas were found in Libya _ twice the amount actually uncovered. The White House moved quickly Wednesday to correct the record, with press secretary Scott McClellan seeking out reporters to point out the mistake. The president should have said in his Tuesday night address and press conference that 23.6 tons of mustard gas were found in Libya, instead of 50 tons, McClellan said. Bush used the 50-ton figure twice. More on this story here! |

1. It's a violation of TOU #4 -- you are promoting your own website/advertising. 2. You've just plagerized that article by not giving credit to the proper source and that opens Jason up to a lawsuit. You might want to fix the link and give proper credit. | |

| Junior Officer ![]() | Could be a simple mistake like rounding off 23.6 tons to 50,000 lbs then mentally using the 50 number as quick numbers for presentation sake. Wouldn't expecting perfection from every word spoken by Pres. Bush be expected from anyone reporting that Pres. Bush mis spoke? That didn't happen did it? Overlooked in the rush to find fault is the 23.6 tons of mustard gas. In the hands of terrorists whether 50 tons or 23.6 that is one heck of a load of mustard gas isn't it ? Maybe there is something to taking a proactive approach to expanding the search for terrorists beyond Afganistan & Al-Quaida. |
