White House Lies Over National Guard Shortages

Think Progress reports » White House Blames Gov. Sebelius For National Guard Shortages. Basically when cornered, the White House does what is usually does, it lied.

White House Press Secretary Tony said: "If you don’t request it, you’re not going to get it. … As far as we know, the only thing the governor has requested are FM radios. There have been no requests to the National Guard for heavy equipment."

Think Progress documents 5 such requests over a year and half.
