:Live on national television at the onset of the 2003 Iraq War from his position with the 3rd Infantry Division, Koppel committed a rare and very public faux pas by claiming to quote Shakespeare's Henry V (actually, the misquote is from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar). The original quote reads as "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!" Ironically, "havoc" was an English military order for soldiers to destroy and pillage.
