Ben Carson in 2016 AdWatch


On War & Peace: Military intelligence underused in crafting Syria strategy

Q: About the war on ISIS: You have new advertisement out entitled "Winning vs. Whining." Who is whining?

CARSON: My point is let's not sit here and talk about what we can't do. Instead, we have some terrific military intelligence and advisers who know how to get the job done. Let's ask them.

Q: Are those advisers not being consulted? What do you think that they're saying that is not being paid attention to?

CARSON: All you need to do is go out and talk to a number of the generals who have retired, in many cases prematurely. You want to know the exact reasons why we're not winning and ask what advice has been given and how it has been ignored. I would suggest that you talk to them.
