Republican presidential candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry slammed President Obama today while on the campaign trail - for not having organized a parade to honor the troops who fought in the Iraq War. According to the New York Times, Perry told a crowd of diners in an Iowa restaurant:
According to the Associated Press, Pentagon officials say that no one has asked them to plan one.
