Stephen Hadley, President Bush's National Security Adviser, made an embarrassing error during an interview on the ABC show "This Week". During the appearance on Sunday, April 13, 2008, Hadley repeatedly referred to the country of Tibet as Nepal, confusing the two countries that share a border and have unique struggles with neighbor China. He discussed several ongoing issues that Tibet is having with China with host George Stephanopoulos, but continually said Nepal instead of Tibet.

Stephanopolous was trying to pin Hadley down on whether or not President Bush would attend the Olympic Games in Beijing in the face of protests over China's controversial relationship to Tibet and other global political issues. Stephanopoulos did not correct Hadley's error on screen.

• "The way to deal with the issue of Nepal is not by some -- a statement that you’re not going to the opening ceremonies and say, therefore, I checked the Nepal box."

• "What he’s doing on Nepal is what we think the international community ought to be doing, which is approaching the Chinese privately through diplomatic channels and sending a very firm message of concern for human rights, a concern for what’s happening in Nepal, urging the Chinese government to understand that it is in their interest to reach out to representatives of the Dalai Lama, and to show, while the whole world is watching China, that they are determined to treat their citizens with dignity and respect." --Stephen Hadley on "This Week"
