Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson struggled Sunday to attach specifics to his plan to defeat the Islamic State militant group, vividly illustrating the former neurosurgeon's difficulty discussing foreign-policy matters.
Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Carson could not name a specific country or leader he would call to assemble an international coalition to counter the Islamic State, despite being asked three times by host Chris Wallace.
"My point being that if we get out there and we really lead and it appears that we're making progress, that all of the Arab states and even the non-Arab states who are, I think, beginning to recognize that the jihad movement is global" will join, Carson said.
He suggested that he would shoot down a Russian plane if it violated a U.S.-led no-fly zone over Syria, even when told that the decision could prompt Russia to shoot down a U.S. plane in response.
"If they violate it, we will, in fact, enforce it. We'll see what happens. For us to always be backing down because we're afraid of a conflict, that's not how we became a great nation, Chris," he said.

The man is not ready to be president. I doubt he ever will be.
We shouldn’t be shooting down Russian planes. We should be helping them kill jihadis.
Ben Carson is a good man? He is just not a Leader!!!
It was a setup by racist, anticonservative,
Chris Wallace who interrupted Dr. Carson, and ignored
what he said .... as is the way of liberal phoney.
Wallace would not even say Islamic terrorism caused
this because FOX “News” is on their side.
Wallace would not even say Islamic terrorism caused
this because FOX “News†is on their side.

Amen to that!!!
Agreed! Watched Dr. Ben on FNS...he would not or could not answer Chrissy directly about “who you gonna call?’...might as well have said “Ghostbusters”! The rest of the interview was very incoherent and lacking in rigorous/organized thought, which is his claim to preparedness for the Presidency. My wife, who was half listening while surfing the internets and pays little attention to politics, thought Dr. Ben sounded pretty weak in his answers. Maybe, Ben had just rolled out of bed and needed some coffee...his comments were seriously lacking in the right stuff!
If he answered that if we had a no-fly zone and the Russians violated it. We wouldn't do anything. Then what kind of no-fly zone would that be?
“Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson struggled Sunday to attach specifics to his plan to defeat the Islamic State militant group...”
Would it not be great if the MSM demanded from Obama his specific plan to defeat ISIS.
From what Obama and Bernie Sanders say, it should be accomplished by decreasing carbon emissions. I kid you not.
Why doesn’t this surprise me???? LMAO...thanks for the pic....
Thanks to RetSignman for this.
The Carson/SDA food pyramid from Loma Linda.
There are many causes for vitamin B12 deficiency.
Surprisingly, two of them are practices often undertaken to improve health:
1. Vegetarian diet
2. weight-loss surgery.
http://chriskresser.com/b12-deficiency-a-silent-epidemic-with-serious-consequences/
A primary sign of low B12 levels is a constant lack of energy.
Oct 26, 2015 - On Friday in Miami, Trump had ripped Carson for having even less energy than Jeb Bush, whom Trump has called low-energy.
Carson does best when people remember that HE IS BLACK...and don’t learn anything else about him.
Does anyone really think he could be President?
Now THAT was funny!
