Is this a product of our education system?
She knew where she wanted to go, but didn’t quite know how to get there. She just had to get South Africa in there somewhere… and, “…such as, um…,” capitalize on the unpopularity of Iraq (Does she really know why we’re there?). Maybe all the detours distracted her.
