Not having watched sufficiently, I don't see what Bachmann should be
raked over the coals for.  Libya is in Africa.  Or is the problem
that we didn't put "our special operations forces" in Libya but
operated from the air?  Or that other, earlier presidents did put
special operations forces into Africa (East Africa, that is)?
