Former CIA Director Hayden Stuns Mika With Praise of Carson's Foreign Policy Approach

"Wow . . . I'm absolutely surprised by that answer . . . Are you sure? . . . Are we talking about the same person?" That was Mika Brzezinski's stunned response after her attempt to recruit retired General and former CIA Director Michael Hayden into her campaign against Ben Carson blew up in her face on today's Morning Joe.

Referring to Carson, Mika asked Hayden "are you concerned that there's a front runner whose foreign policy sensibilities seem to lack, to say the least?" But instead of playing along with Mika's leading question, Hayden, while acknowledging that Carson lacked foreign policy experience, replied that based on a long conversation he had with Carson, all of his foreign policy instincts are "right." He said Carson asked "good questions" and is a "well-meaning, serious, bright man."

It would be hard to do worse foreign-policy wise than Obama. You’d really have to try hard.

Video worth the price of admission [which, granted, is zero] to watch Mika’s array of stunned expressions!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Carson called for a FioRINO/Hillary no-fly zone in Syria and for shooting down Russian planes that enter it. He is a psycho on some kind of mind-numbing cocktail. A VERY dangerous man if elected to high office.

Can someone tell me what Ben Carson’s foreign policy is other than he wants to shoot down Russian aircraft over Syria?

Too bad you didn’t post Morning Joe’s reaction to Trump’s rant last night about Ben Carson’s belt buckle excuse. There were applauses heard and I think Danny Deutsch gave him a standing ovation.

Hayden gave a politicians answer....worthless. A nice man trying to understand is not an answer.

The retired Gen. may agree to some degree with Dr. Ben, and Dr. Ben may be a very nice man HOWEVER Dr. Ben is NO TRUMP and he and I have disagreements on many issues...amnesty being the first.

GO TRUMP/GO CRUZ They win or WE LOSE!!

Mika looks real mean.
Did she ever question obamas foreign policy since everything has been a complete failure and cost thousands and thousands of lives?
