"Isn't this the same guy who fabricated the "We had to destroy the village in order to save it" quote from the Vietnam war?
Anybody remember?"

An American press officer did make the comment - and it was said in the context of how sad it was that the village was destroyed and saving "it" had to do with something else entirely. Part of the same press release but Arnett took it out of two places and stuck it together.

Least that is my memory of it -
