Carson Slams 'Hypocrisy' of His Doubters on Foreign Policy

"SNIP.............


DAVENPORT-- Dropping in the polls amid questions over the extent of his foreign policy knowledge, Ben Carson told an Iowa crowd on Sunday night that "nobody ever pays any attention" to his foreign policy positions - but President Obama and others use "almost the exact words" that he uses in talking about the fight against ISIS.

"I've said for multiple months, is that if we take the fight to [ISIS] over there, we're much less likely to have to fight them over here," Carson said in Wilton, Iowa. He expressed annoyance over the recent criticisms directed at him.

"I find it a little frustrating when I say things like that and nobody ever pays any attention," Carson said. "And they say, 'Carson doesn't know anything about foreign affairs.' And yet, everybody picks up on all of the stuff that I say, including President Obama, and starts using it themselves. I think it's very, very strange."

Talking to reporters later in Davenport, Carson suggested it is "hypocrisy" to question his foreign policy acumen.

7. People Have Been Saying That For Years

Politicians have been saying "we need to fight them over there so we do not have to fight them over here" for years. That was one of the justifications President Bush II used to invade Iraq. He claimed, if we did invade Iraq and get rid of the supposed weapons of mass destruction and kill the bad guys they would come to America and attack Americans.
