        The best part of this quote is the number of people who learn from it that Africa is not a country.

        What a nice change to hear from a competent professional like Gen. Dunford. No sugar coating. No defensive rhetoric. No sketchy facts.

        I thought Obama put them there in 2013. Some in Congress knew, some weren't paying attention. This is one communication with Congress...pic.twitter.com/6C5dT7UlV8
