Factual errors: During the briefing in the Situation Room, Leo McGarry is informed that 12 Israeli F-15s are preparing to take-off each armed with eight "AIM Sidewinders". The correct designation for this missile is the "AIM-9 Sidewinder" and while the F-15 is capable of carrying a total of eight air-to-air missiles, it can carry no more than a maximum of four AIM-9 Sidewinders at any given time. Also, why exactly these aircraft would be armed only with short-range air-to-air missiles in what is described to be a ground attack mission is peculiar, especially since the Palestinians do not possess an air force.
