Martha Raddatz made the wrong point. She should have asked why we should remain in Afghanistan until after the election. Of course, she would not be around long working for mainstream media if she asked questions like that.
Martha Raddatz reined in Joe Biden? Too funny.
As far as being a journalist, she is pretty much a mouthpiece for the national security establishment she covers. However, she is not alone in that regard. I remember her credulously buying the line that little building in Syria that Israel bombed had nuclear weapons material.
