ORLANDO — Ben Carson stumbled Friday evening while responding to a question about how he would respond to the terror attacks in Paris if he were president. Carson said he would employ "things that they don't know about resources" against terrorists, but struggled to specify what an American response under his leadership might look like.
"I would be working with our allies, using every resource known to man: in terms of economic resources, in terms of covert resources… military resources… things-that-they-don't-know-about resources… not to contain them, but to eliminate them, before they eliminate us," Carson told reporters at the Sunshine Summit, a gathering of Republican leaders.
Carson has been tripped up by foreign policy questions before. At the Republican presidential debates earlier this week, the doctor suggested that there were Chinese troops in Syria, even though there is no evidence that this is the case. The doctor, known for his calm and quiet demeanor, was asked whether he had the personality to respond to terrorist attack if president.

“Carson Would Use “Things They Don’t Know About Resources” on Terrorists”
Well, between these two plans, we are GOLDEN!
Ah yes, the last quadrant of the Johari Knowledge/Uncertainty Window - you don’t know what you don’t know. Such an interesting concept.
If anyone is interested, there’s a basic discussion here: http://denham.typepad.com/km/2003/10/knowledge_searc.html
SuperBen would stab every terrorist in the abdomen with a hunting knife.
Are you talking about Barack Hussein Obama there
conservativejoy? - Too Late. He & the Wookie have
taken root. Surely you didn’t vote for ‘em?
I’m not voting for Carson either. He is Obama and Jimmy Carter rolled into one.
He is supposed to have stumbled because they are for Cruz or Trump. Trump is buddies with Putin and doesn’t see a danger in letting Russia into the area especially when Obummer is letting Russia tell us where we can and cant fly? The neurosurgeon has carefully considered this and by the way unlike Obummer he realizes you don’t telegraph precisely how you are going to take them out. At least he acknowledges we must take them out. He is also the only candidate that supports the second amendment while stating accurately what the second amendment is for! Unlike any of the other candidates. Any of the other candidates that say they support the second amendment at best say it is for personal self defense, they are apparently scared to state that is was put in to be able stop a tyrannical government.
I do not know.
I hope so.
I am for Trump/ Cruz, and I am for Cruz/ Trump. I realize that the second is not as likely to occur.
As far as the American people go, all that comes to mind is that vapid girl on Cavuto the other day.
We have generations of complete and total sh*theads in the country, and they vote.
I am very worried.
At least I’m hoping with the awful attack going on, people will think a little more seriously about the consequences of electing Carson.
Honestly, i think a Carson presidency would be a, horrific nightmare.
In the face of an imminent existential clear and present danger, the last thing that is needed is a pacifist.
He is not someone that I can consider voting for.
Kill the SOBs by boiling them in bacon grease.
Carson defenders, deep down, seem to know that their amnesty loving, Terri Schiavo-hating, SDA member is not really a conservative. I understand that actually defending your candidate on the merits instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks is a futile endeavor, but there’s never any shame in admitting you were wrong.
Again a man potentially “in charge” who cannot name the enemy ... in a war where only one side fights to win.
