Gillespie: Emanuel "Uninformed Or Willfully Misleading"


Ed Gillespie said Sunday that Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was either 'uninformed or willfully misleading' on the issue of Afghanistan.

Transcript:

KING: Ed Gillespie, to the point Ed just noted -- Ed Rollins just noted you worked in the Bush White House at the end. After Rahm Emanuel was on this program last week, he said they needed time because a lot of these questions hadn't been asked in the prior eight years.

My phone and my e-mail have been going nuts, been an overload all week from people who worked in the administration and were close to your administration, the former administration, saying, essentially, hogwash, that we actually did a very detailed review and we gave it to them.

GILLESPIE: That's exactly right. And, in fact, in mid- September, there was a two-month review process, interview process, and then an analysis of that. And the fact is Rahm Emanuel, last Sunday, was either uninformed or willfully misleading in what he said because he knows full well, I suspect, that there was a proposal given and a review given that took into account the Afghan national army, the politics over there, the policing, the international framework.
