Dr. Ben Carson told supporters Sunday that he supports increased military involvement in Syria because ISIS is an existential threat to the United States, adding that al Qaeda — the group behind the 2001 September 11th attacks— was not.
"A lot of Americans really think back to 2003, and they remember Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda," Carson explained at a Nevada rally. "They say, 'we never should have gone in there and destabilized it.' And they may be right about that."
"But here's the problem, Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda at that time was not an existential threat to us. The global jihad movement is an existential threat. They want to destroy us and everything that has to do with us," Carson concluded after criticizing President Obama for withdrawing troops from Iraq.
Al Qaeda and it's leader Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9-11, the deadliest attacks on American soil.

I will never think about the term ‘brain surgeon’ the same way again.
Brain surgeon (or rocket scientist) won’t ever apply to you as one who takes NBC at face value.
For crying out loud.....why are his numbers as high as they are?
Did Dr. Ben say it or not?
Can you find anything ( article, YouTube video ) that contradicts what this article states?
Makes for a great sarcastic punchline, though.
;)
Glad I became a rocket scientist, ole Ben makes brain surgeons look like morons.
No comment by Carson about Al Queda was in the video.
Sounds like the good doctor may have performed a labodomy on himself...he took the partbof the brain that deals in logic.
Carson is a good man, but it’s time for him and the reality tv show host to exit the stage.
When I grow up I want to be a rocket surgeon. :-)
Headline itself is not what Carson said.
This thread is for MSM zombies. Brain dead morons.
Are you saying that these quotes are false?
lol

...is that a falsely attributed quote? Screw your head out of your arse and explain it to us.
Please show PROOF that he never said it!
I've about had enough of this twit.
Don’t believe NBC? Fine. Listen to Carson in your own words. Comments start at 0:25.

There is under the video, which I to be a transcript what he said in the video.
You posted that to the wrong person.
