He claimed that Obama had said one thing, when he clearly had said the opposite, and she called him on it. If it was Bush you would have been cheering, right?

I think you're confused about what was said in the video... he without question answered the question. The part we could hear him speaking was 20 seconds, clearly it was cut off at the start. It's really clear as well, 20k troops would beef up security but as Obama said 20k troops won't accomplish any 'new' progress - and it wouldn't - but it would beef up security which is vastly different than new progress. It's really easy to understand.
Any other question she asked is of no political importance and not anything Americans should care about and stupid that she kept pushing them.
