Martha Coakley, Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, claimed at the other night’s debate that there are no more terrorists located in Afghanistan. That should come as a surprise to the rest of the world, currently busy dealing with the many terrorists still located in Afghanistan.

As you can imagine, her mind=blowing claim has drawn attention from the media. As CNN reports, however, Coakley is dodging questions:

Washington (CNN) – Democrat Martha Coakley dodged a pointed question Tuesday about her claim during a Massachusetts Senate debate the night before that terrorists are no longer in Afghanistan….

A reporter asked Coakley about that claim after a Capitol Hill fundraiser on Tuesday. “Do you stand by that remark?” he asked.

Coakely, standing before a small cluster of reporters and cameras, listened to the question, then quickly looked in a different direction.

“I’m sorry,” she said. “Did anybody else have a question?”

Wait. What? One of the biggest jobs of a United States Senator is dealing with foreign policy and national security. Coakley, a candidate for that seat, makes obviously false statements dealing with both and then dodges questions? And she wants voters to trust her?
