Condi Rice Now Lying About Afghanistan

CLAIM:

"Resources were not taken from Afghanistan" when the President secretly moved $700 million out of the Afghanistan spending bill.
- National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, 4/18/04

FACT:

"In 2002, troops from the 5th Special Forces Group were pulled out of the hunt for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan to prepare for their next assignment: Iraq." Former top Pentagon officials said the President's Iraq focus "siphoned spy aircraft and light infantry soldiers" and "diverted enormous military and intelligence assets."
