Ben Carson: My sources 'better' than White House on Syria
CNN ^

Posted on 11/13/2015 11:06:03 AM PST by springwater13

Washington (CNN)GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said Friday that he has better sources than the White House about the situation in Syria, sticking by his claim that China is involved in the fighting there.

Carson previously said that the Chinese were involved in Syria in Tuesday's GOP debate, which the White House rejected.

National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Thursday she has "not seen any evidence of Chinese military involvement in Syria" when asked about Carson's suggestions at a White House briefing.

On Friday in South Carolina, Carson was pressed by CNN on whether he wanted to revise his earlier comments.

"I have several sources that I've gotten material from," said the retired neurosurgeon. "I'm surprised that my material is better than theirs."

Carson has divine voices in his ear. All the Pentagon has is massive intelligence including satellites. You can’t make this up. I don;t think I can watch.

China has only one aircraft carrier and it is a re-furbished Russian ship. I don’t believe they have finished building their second aircraft carrier.

I think Carson might be bipolar.

Chinese harass neighboring countries, they don’t get involved in West mess. They enjoy loot from Western wars.

That’s what I think. I just read that he says his info that “China is fighting in Syria” is better sourced that the Pentagon, the intelligence community and the satellite network. Is he talking to God? This guy is a raving kook. Thank you Donald for exposing his pathological characteristics that he wrote about about in his own book.

Which pathological liar am I supposed to believe.

Wait, I think I get it. Carson spent a couple of hours in a bathroom and came out with this knowledge.

Behold.....another “Magic Negro”.

Are these the same sources that told Ben that Secretary of the Treasury and Chairman of the Fed were the same job? Judging by most of his nonsense, Doc Ben is in dire need of better sources and advisers.
