Scott Brown rips Martha Coakley's foreign policy knowledge.

Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Scott Brown tore into his Democratic opponent Martha Coakley today for her ""astonishing lack of knowledge on foreign policy."

Brown joined fellow veterans Sergeant Anthony Rizzo (USMC) and USN Captain Tom Hudner (USN) at a press conference to draw attention to Martha Coakley’s "surprising naiveté on national security issues."

“In Monday night’s debate, Martha Coakley made a stunning revelation that she believes there are no longer any terrorists in Afghanistan,” said Scott Brown.  “Martha Coakley’s statement on Monday reveals a deeply troubling lack of awareness of the threats facing our troops and our national security.”

In a press release earlier in the day, Brown's campaign had reminded media outlets (or alerted those who didn't know about this race until a week ago) about Coakley's statement on WCVB's "On the Record" in October.  During the interview, Coakley was asked about her foreign policy credentials, and began her response by saying, "I have a sister who lives overseas, and she's been in England and now lives in the Middle East."  Her comment made great fodder for Brown at the time.
