Ben Carson's Serial Exaggeration On China's Involvment In Syria

.... Carson said his campaign would release "some material on that" before the end of the weekend when asked about National Security Adviser Susan Rice saying there's no evidence to support his claims that the Chinese are involved in Syria.
[Carson] "I have several sources that I've got material from, I'm surprised my sources are better than theirs," he told reporters after a town hall event.
ON MSNBC's Morning Joe, Gen. Michael Hayden, former head of the CIA said Carson was mistaken and there is no Chinese involvement in Syria. He makes his living fearmongering the middle east so he should know if China is in Syria.
During Andrea Mitchell's program this morning, Chris Jansing said that she had a look at the documents that Carson is claiming, but that they aren't what he said they are.
Jansing: As a matter of fact Andrea, I got a look at three sets of papers the campaign is putting out to defend what he said and it's interesting...we were able to get them this morning. I'm quoting here "the Chinese are there," referring to Syria..."the Chinese are there, as well as the Russians," but now what they're saying in these papers that the media got it all wrong. That he never said the Chinese were physically there, but it was about their influence and about weapons that are sold...........
And they had documents, some of them that were translated from Chinese on Google translate that said there had been sales of military weapons to Syria so, they're trying to push back on it. he's talking about these documents. We still don't have a good sense on who his advisers are....
