More Brian Williams lies uncovered
I’m having a hard time getting mad at NBC’s news reader for his constant stream of lies – I never watched NBC News anyway. They did a really great interview with TSO & me a few years back, but other than that – meh. But, I guess everyone else is mad at them for not busting Williams sooner themselves. The latest bust comes from the Huffington Post who is pouring through every transcript of every word that Williams ever uttered, apparently, because he told David Letterman that he rode into Baghdad with a bunch of SEAL;
“We have some idea which of our special operations teams carried this out,” Williams told David Letterman on “The Late Show” the night after bin Laden was killed. “It happens to be a team I flew into Baghdad with, on the condition that I would never speak of what I saw on the aircraft, what aircraft we were on, what we were carrying, or who we were after.”
Williams mentioned SEAL Team 6 again on the “Nightly News” the following night. “I happen to have the great honor of flying into Baghdad with them at the start of the war,” he said.
Williams went on to elaborate further on his experience with the special team in later Letterman appearances and claimed — on the “Late Show” and in other interviews — to have received gifts from the SEALS over the years since their flight into Baghdad, including a piece of Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into the courtyard of bin Laden’s Abbottabad hideout.
Yeah, I can see a SEAL who, after just finishing off bin Laden, scurrying to get his ass out of Indian Country and passing by the crashed helicopter saying to his buddy “You know who would like a piece of that wreckage – Brian Williams, that’s who.” Not Gary Sinise, not Robin Williams, but Brian Williams. Because Brian Williams told us that he has our “6” in that commercial.
Ya know, Williams deserves to be fired, but not as much as that traitorous bunch of liars at MSNBC – any one of them – pick one. the reason that Williams hasn’t been busted before is because no one was really paying attention to him before, so how much harm did he really cause? I mean, if anyone had been listening to him, that SEAL story would have sunk him long ago. That should be NBC’s primary concern. Who can really get mad at their liars if no one is listening to what they say?

Well, he hasn’t claimed to have been a US Navy CPO – YET!!
What is “MSNBC”?
NBC? Related? Vaguely heard of them…
Nothing but crap? Moonbats spewing nothing but crap?
I like that. Substitute “communism” or “collectivism” for “crap”, and it would be closer to the truth. But “crap” works.
Measles Scabs & Nasty Bullshit Communism – MSNBC!!

Ya know, maybe I need to change my name to CBRguy54…
For the record – I was NBC before he was (and got almost the same amount of love he’s getting now)
Thanks for nothing Brian Williams!!!
Don’t fret:
Here is your new name:
CBRNEsupercalafragalisticexpialadoshusGUY54 …
Hope this helps!
Gee thanks Master Chief. I can barely spell nbc…I was Army remember. Big words kick my ass.
NBC Guy, I was a 54-Echo in an airborne infantry battalion of the 101st and a brigade CBR NCO for the 2d Brigade, 82d Airborne. I got out in 1967 so I’m curious as to when they changed the MOS designation from CBR to NBC. Do you know?
When I joined the Guard in 1980 as a 67N, I think it was NBC by then. I went active and changed my MOS to 54E in 84 and obviously it was NBC then. Not sure of before 1980.
Sometime between 1973 and 1980 based on this FM: http://www.desertstorm1991.com/images/NBC/MPUB_FM019.gif
I was a Btry level NBC NCO in the ROK during 1980-81, but not a school trained 54B. 2ID had a one week school at Camp Casey on decon stations, downwind hazards and so on. Guess there may have been a shortage of 54Bs, or maybe the unit didn’t have a slot for one at the time.
Some of the best NBC NCOs I worked with were the “additional duty” guys like you. You guys seemed to “get it” better than a lot of the 54s.
I really enjoyed being NBC as it let me see more of the Army. I worked with 3 different types of FA systems, 3 ADA systems, Infantry, Armor, Aviation and Transportation. I even had time in a Smoke Company. I tried to learn the jobs of those I worked with and it gave me a good understanding of the missions and a better appreciation of what the “real” soldiers did. It was a damn good gig and guys like you really helped me sell my product and be successful.
One more thing-I was probably the only one in the Army hoping to never do my job for real (for obvious reasons).
Poetrooper & nbcguy, when I went through Basic in Feb/March of 71 they were still calling it CBR at that time.
NBC-1 Report:
ABC to CBR to NBC to CBRN/DE.
Timeframe: Various name changes and dates have occurred over the past 50-55 years.
However it is still:
GAS!! GAS!! GAS!!
CLAW131,
In case of nuclear attack immediately take the following actions:
1. Find cover
2. Assume squatting position
3. Put head between knees
4. Kiss your a$$ goodbye
Roger.
Out.
I will refer you to the wisdom of Initech programmer Michael Bolton, of “Office Space” fame: “Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks!”
At worst, call yourself REALnbcguy54.
I like that!
Briam Williams … who?
Didn’t he play “Little Enos” in that mad cap, cross country, late seventies Hollywood sensation, “Smokey and the Bandit?”
Just wonderin’!
You’re in desperate need of an editor/proofreader.
HuffPo is investigating? Good- love it when libtards eat their own.
Something that might be pointed out is that Brian Williams wasn’t just some gomer reading from a teleprompter. As managing editor of the Nightly News, he was also the boss. It’s not hard to imagine that more than a few NBC staffers had to listen to a Williams load, but kept their mouths shut for fear of getting fired.
It’s also a bit rich for the Huffington Post to be tossing sanctimonious rocks if you consider Arianna Huffington’s own background. Here’s a woman who’s been accused multiple times of plagiarism, who switched from Republican to Democrat when it became more lucrative, and who told her unpaid contributor base to kiss her progressive butt when she put an estimated $100 million in her pocket from the sale of HuffPo to Aol.
She tried to run for governor here in California a while back. Everybody was too busy laughing at her to notice if she got a single vote.
And here I thought delusions of grandeur were only the venue of crazy people. But what do I know?
Oh, well. I guess they’ll beat this subject to death until Brie-brie finally slinks away into his deluxe crapyy trailer in the Hamptons that he paid $1 million for, just to say he lives there.
Then he can spend his days writing his memoirs, publish them on Amazon because no one will take that hot potato now, and wait for people to buy them on Kindle.
I really do think that now, with so much subjectivity in the news, it might be better if people like Brie-brie could simply stick to writing fiction.
He HAS been writing fiction. Then reading it to us on-air.
Oh, my goodness me! You’re right! How could I have missed that??
Oh, that’s right: I never watched the NBC nightly news.
I have a better station online.
I was talking to my priest yesterday, and he pointed out that nobody has any excuse anymore for believing the crap on the alphabet networks. It’s ridiculously easy to be informed these days.
Brain Williams is angling hard for the annual All-Points Logistics Man of the Year award.

‘“The last thing in the world we would want is a reporter sitting in a helicopter embedded in one of these units,” he quipped.’
Well out of all the stolen valor that I’ve seen so far Lol… One of the funniest one so far is one I’ve not seen exposed yet… Me and my better half bumped in to a ding dong about 4 months ago sporting a drivers badge with expert jump wings and a SF RANGER…. Crap we all know the drill they had every badge you could think of but a drivers badge for gods sake bahahahahaha ……
Williams is done: 3 jokes about him on the live 3.5 hour 40th Ann. SNL spectacular. Jerry Seinfeld landed most obvious joke that took a respectful response. The other 2 were very cleverly consealed.
And that IS his homebase – NBC News World HQ!
You guys are really old!
Any day above ground is a great day, puppy.
Yep, that’s why my 7 year old great grandson calls me OPA!!!
