Republican White House hopeful Herman Cain, looking to explain a gaffe earlier this week on Libya, has suggested the Taleban was part of the new government in Tripoli in a new slip-up.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday in Florida, Cain defended himself over his rambling response to a question about Libya posed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's editorial board - a video of which quickly went viral.
Cain, while admitting he was "a bit fatigued" during the interview, said the reporter had asked him a question that was too vague about whether he agreed with the Obama administration's handling of the crisis in Libya.
"Do I agree with siding with the opposition? Do I agree with saying that Gaddafi should go? Do I agree that they now have a country where you've got Taleban and al-Qaeda that's going to be part of the government?" he said.
"Do I agree with not knowing the government - which part was he asking me about? I was trying to get him to be specific and he wouldn't be specific."
