Ben Carson’s strength has never been foreign policy, but in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris last week, the importance of each candidate’s knowledge on the matter is coming under intense scrutiny – especially concerning the Middle East.
In the wake of this, advisors to Dr. Ben Carson have taken the opportunity to clear up the candidates grasp on international affairs.
Apparently, he has not one iota of intelligent information on the matter.
Indeed, Carson’s frustrated advisors trashed the candidate in a New York Times interview, and alleged he has not only no previous knowledge, but no grasp on what he is told.
Go to page two to see what his advisors had to say about the candidate, as well as his campaign’s response:
we need to guard and patrol both borders with armed troops. I know that sounds harsh but we’re a sitting duck with borders like ours and they know it.
Doesn’t have a clue
Please share…. Pleas read this informative post from one of our military service members These Syrian refugees can not assimilate into American life.

I don’t typically go on rants or express my political beliefs here, but I just have to get this off my mind. As some of you know, I’m active duty Army. Aside from that, I am a medic. I’ve spent 3 years of my life overseas in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I’ve seen some pretty atrocious sites caused by war, from both sides. I’ve picked up blown up body parts of friends and I’ve saved the lives of guys who were trying to kill me and my guys right before I was keeping them from their 72 virgins or whatever they believe awaits them on the other side. Here is an unbiased truthful view to the Syrian refugee situation. My first deployment to Iraq, in 2006, my unit voluntarily ran a childrens burn clinic outside of the FOB. It was a constant target for attacks. You would think that people wouldn’t shoot mortars or rockets at their own children, but you would be wrong. We saw hundreds of children, from infants to 18 year olds. The overwhelming majority of the kids we saw (90% or better) were clear cases of abuse. These parents were literally dunking their kids in boiling water, or throwing hot chai at their kids faces… Yes, we’re talking about babies, toddlers, kids not even old enough to understand why their parents would do these things to them. HUNDREDS of kids… We saw quite a few of these kids that were sexually abused, both girls and boys. Their parents acted if nothing was wrong with this, even when confronted by our doctors. This is the mentality of their society, not the viewpoint of a few individuals… these beliefs have been accepted to the vast majority of these people. Many were educated, well dressed, well spoken men, but yet, they still raped their own children, and kept chai boys (if you don’t know what that means, google it.) During that deployment, we also captured the 3rd largest EFP cache that had ever been captured. There were hundreds of copper plates, homemade explosives, f**e curbs to house the EFP’s, hundreds of mortars and rockets and howitzer rounds, even an anti-aircraft gun. All of these things came from one place, Syria. Almost every single IED or EFP we found or hit could be traced back to Syria… A lot of the terrorists we captured were from SYRIA… Imagine that. Fast forward a couple years, and I find myself in Helmand Province, in Afghanistan… We had a group of Afghani’s that were paid to help guard our little mud hut in the middle of an Afghan village (I wasn’t on a fob) These guys also kept a “chai boy” A boy, about 11 years old, who was there to serve these guys sexually. We heard him being sexually assaulted many times, but there was nothing we could do about it. We asked the police, the Afghan Army, and we were told the same thing every time…. it’s their culture, and accepted as the norm…. Once again, we captured Syrian made explosives, weapons, and other items… We found Syrian passports during raids… And people out there want us to let these people into the US, with our kids, and near our wives. Near our schools, near our churches, synogogues, malls. Places where we should never have to fear being blown up, shot, kidnapped and tortured… Don’t forget what they did to the Egyptian Coptic Christians, or the Jordanian pilot… Don’t forget about what they do to rape victims! They stone these women to death for being raped! They behead their own people. Do you think they will show mercy to you? Look at the rape statistics in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium. Facts don’t lie… 97% of rapes committed in Sweden were committed by Muslim immigrants… And you want 10,000 of these people here? Even if just 1% of these so called “refugees” were ISIS supporters or active ISIS terrorists, would that be acceptable to you? Chew on it… think about it. Take a good look at your kids or your wife and decide if the risk is worth taking. Feel free to share this if you want.
Carson has proven time and time again he can not grasp foreign affairs or military strategy when not prepared ahead of time by his staff. This is a very serious flaw in a candidate. He is a good person and a very intelligent man, capable in his field. But attributing any sense of apttitude with regard to international affairs to him is a futile act and a dangerous one for the united states.
Lol. Maybe you should change that first word in your page name because the TRUTH is not what you report. How much money did you get paid to post this c**p, this time?
It is sad but we need to elect a commander in chief we do not need to collect a neurosurgeon nor do we need to elect or even look at ollecting makrup Mitt Romney. #DonaldTrumpforpresident

Sounds like the failure is on the advisor’s side. Besides, I doubt that Dr. Carson relies on one old hack for knowledge. I am sure that Dr. Carson calls upon many other sources for his intell.
What this guy is running for president? i thought he was just selling books…… eh
Well Obama thinks his policy is working and it clear is not, I think America over the years have been making a big mess in the ME maybe someone a little humble might do better
