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.

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

Be afraid...

1. What a bunch.

His meltdown isn't going to be pretty.

[brooklynite]

2. What meltdown?

Do you think this is going to scare off his base?

[wolfie001]

12. True. But his base is completely bonkers!!!

[brooklynite]

16. To paraphrase a comment about Nixon's failed SC appointee, G. Harrold Carswell...

"Even if he were bonkers, there are a lot of bonkers people. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they?"

[immoderate]

25. Roman Hruska? Dat chu?

17. He had a divine revelation straight from God Himself.

It scares the hell out me that this delusional creature could have his finger on the dooms day nuclear switch. I wouldn't put it past this psycho of pulling the switch to hasten the End Times and begin the Second Coming.

[Plucketeer]

22. My thoughts exactly

WHO could have better inside info than gentle Ben?

[MissKat]

3. Well, he's got that direct line, right

Hasn't he told us he has a direct line to Jesus?

Seriously, he deserves whatever can of whoop-ass that is opened up on him.
He's delusional.

[tomm2thumbs]

4. Sources tell me the pyramids are hollow

you know, like to hold cereal and milk

[PSPS]

5. He's probably right

It was last night's pillow talk.

[DesertRat]

9. Wow

He's an egomaniacal crazy person.

[mountain grammy]

29. Those hands!

Jeeeesus...

[madamesilverspurs]

6. Shades of McCain

saying, in the course of his campaign, that he knew how to get Bin Laden and would do so if elected. I remember thinking at the time that IF he had such knowledge and was holding it hostage to votes, well, he couldn't do that and still claim to be the uber-patriot.

SSDD, it seems.

[Politicalboi]

7. I bet he read it on the internets

It's Friday the 13th for crissakes. All kinds of things going on in the world on this scary day. I'm surprised Ben doesn't warn people about the dangers of the Apocalypse that is supposed to happen today. Don't look down!

[getagrip_already]

8. the conspiracy nuts are already running with this...

If you follow some of the links and read the replies, or go to the darkside and read red blogs/news-sites, the crazy's are spinning this up as a conspiracy to cover up chinese involvement by obama.

It's pretty mind numbing. But they are passionate about it.

So will it hurt? Probably not. The crazies just don't care.

He and the donald will be there for the long run, and one of them will get the nomination. I suspect donald, but carson will be a strong second.

Knowing trump, he will make carson his vp running mate. We already know sarah palin will be in his cabinet, probably as secretary of defense. Carly could be sec of state since she knows putin.

Hey, it's Camelot to the reds. Who am I to argue with destiny (or is it density?)?

[wolfie001]

10. If god told him then.......

....he's a schizophrenic.

[Lithos]

11. His source is Debka.com

A site notoriously incorrect....

[Bossy Monkey]

21. Well, the voices in your head have been spot-on so far, Ben! n/t

[IronLionZion]

23. I say we send Ben there with a knife to take care of it.

[Earth_First]

24. Collusion or Dellusion?

Which is it?

If it's the former, and it's intelligence information that you have that is being withheld in an effort to 'one up' the White House...your collusion is treasonous and outright illegal, Ben.

[randys1]

26. Is Carson a buffoon, yes. But, what will he recommend as a reaction to Paris and how many

Americans are now sufficiently worried enough to buy it

[DesertFlower]

27. he needs to be examined by a

neurosurgeon.

[MiniMe]

28. Well...aren't we a bit special

Sorry, shades of the church lady popped up
