“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.”

You are calling Carson a moron for criticizing Obama for withdrawing from Iraq and allowing IS to move in?

You think the global Jihad does not want to destroy us?

You make no sense.

Did you even read your quote? He said Al Qaeda was not a threat to the US two years after 9/11.

You make no sense asking me questions about things I never said or quoted.

"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 was no threat but global jihad is? lol Is that like "drinking too much is not a problem but distilleries will kill you."

Well whop-dee-do !

It's the same damned thing!

The guys who did the 7/7 in London were al-Quaeda.

There have been many a foiled plot, in NYC, after 9/11, that were planned by al-Qaeda goons.

If that all isn't an "existential threat", then what is?

“Al Qaeda was no threat but global jihad is? lol Is that like “drinking too much is not a problem but distilleries will kill you.”

He said al Qaeda was not an existential threat.

You asked about the entire quote.

“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.”

You now say you only disagree with the part about al Qaeda not being an existential threat but agree with him about his criticism of Obama’s withdrawal?

Are you still blaming the media for everything Dr. Carson says? Plenty of people have sourced the quote for you.

Then there's his unchristian, anti-life view of Terri Schiavo's horrific death. Maybe Dr. Carson thought she was an existential threat?

Give up on it. The only chance we have for saving the US is a Trump presidency. I'm beginning to wonder if Dr. Carson is fronting for someone else.

“It’s the same damned thing!”

No it’s not.

You act like Pavlov’s dog salivating to the leftist media bell.

I asked if the quote was false. Is it?

I didn't say that but I do believe it.

Is that corn meal mush dribbling out of your ear?

How is it NOT the same thing ? I gave you examples PROVING that it is and you're still claiming that one word, "existential" changes the whple meaning, which it doesn't.

Go look up the meaning of that word, you're so smitten with !
