Well, there's the word that's pronounced "cash-ay", but that's cachet, "A mark or quality, as of distinction, individuality, or authenticity: “Federal courts have a certain cachet which state courts lack”" (from dictionary.com). So....that'd be a big vote for Fox News Is Crazy.

This guy was talking about caches of weapons only prouncing it like cash-ays, which perked my ears up and made me wonder. He was an Army dude so I figured he'd know how to say it but I've never heard cache pronounced that way.

Cash-ay of weapons just sounds wrong.

Heh. Now I"m imagining someone talking about "Well, there is a certain cachet to having chemical and biological or nuclear weapons!"

I think what he said was "We are finding cachets of weapons..." blah blah.

What he was trying to say was that the US military was finding caches of Iraqi weapons. Our president can't pronounce nuclear right, but a spokesperson and presumably a general or other high ranking officer of the Army can't even use the right word when talking about weaponry. I worry about this country.
