Rumsfeld Blasts Apparent Obama Lie in Afghan Speech!

According to Fox News, today, December 2nd 2009, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued the following statement:

“In the speech to the nation President Obama claimed that Commanders in Afghanistan repeatedly asked for support to deal with the re-emergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive.”

“Such a bold misstatement, at least as it pertains to the period I served as Secretary of Defense, deserves a response.”

“I am not aware of a single request of that nature between 2001 and 2006. If any such requests occurred, repeated or not, the White House should promptly make them public.”

“The President’s assertion does a disservice to the truth, and in particular to the thousands of men and women in uniform who have served and sacrificed in Afghanistan.”

“It is in the interest of better understanding of the President’s announcement last night, and I suggest that the Congress review the President’s assertion in forthcoming debate and determine exactly which requests were made and who made them…” (Fox News on-air, 12/2/09)

WHY WOULD OBAMA SEEMINGLY MAKE THIS UP? WILL HE PROVE HIS ASSERTION? A PRESIDENT CAN’T JUST LIE IN AN ADDRESS TO THE NATION. YOUR MOVE, MR. PRESIDENT. See the TV ad being talked about around the nation, showing Barack Obama as the “Face of Socialism” at WakeUpAmerica.com
