False Dialogue

As I recently watched a film, a fictional story about a revolution in Columbia, I was amused by an exchange between a reporter and the President of the United States. At a press conference the reporter demanded, "The President of Columbia said that the United States has begun an invasion of Columbia. Is this true?"

Before the character of the US President could answer I thought immediately that his response should be, "It's true. The President of Columbia said that."

I really wasn't into the movie. Can you tell?
