Christine O'Donnell Says U.S. Hasn't Finished Job Of Fighting 'Soviets' In Afghanistan

But her description of the United States' role in Afghanistan in the 1980s came out a bit garbled:

Well if you remember when we were fighting the Soviets over there in Afghanistan in the '80s and '90s, we did not finish the job, so now we have a responsibility to finish the job and if you are gonna make these politically correct statements that it's costing us too much money, you are threatening the security of our homeland.

She also briefly confused Iraq and Afghanistan. Coons corrected her.

Asked if the country is more secure now than it was under President George W. Bush, Coons said "Yes" and O'Donnell said "No."

Watch the moment on Afghanistan:
