Oooooh, a WAR DECLARATION. That will make things better!
“USA declares war on the Islamic State.”
A positive, productive message to beam all over the muslim world.

Say WHAT?
(Most of the points are already covered by the current administration and number 1 isn’t going to happen under McConnell.)

He bombs more countries (in his mind) before 9 A.M. than most other wingnuts do all day.

Fox: This is an excellent idea, Well thoughtout, even better than smartest president, George Bush.
Mr Carson, how do you intend to pay for it?
Carson: Tax Cuts.
Fox: That will work. How original.

Yeah! If only that damn Democratic Congress would vote for war!
(What’s that? GOP in charge of the Congress? Oh…)
Well, it’s all Obama’s fault!

“The retired neurosurgeon’s plan comes as he has seen a dip in the polls, which Carson has attributed to his perceived lack of foreign policy knowledge.”
This won’t help that perception.

Trump: This is pandering. ISIS is easy to get rid off. I plan to invade all of Middle East and kill all terrorists and potential terrorists. If there are no muslims left, there will be no terrorism. Also, we get free oil and vast Golf Courses in desert.

“….a failing candidate grasping at straws….”
The bumper sticker for any GOP candidate in 2016.

Trump: This is baloney. I plan to run as a pure liberal in general election. I will run to the left of Barney. It appears the nation is hungry for a leftist president. Who doesnt like single payer health system? I will tax Hedge Funds to pay for it and of course free college for all.

Correct on the DOW; though its sort of a minor issue; Obama and Pentagon have been fully engaged as if a declaration was in place.
But…Good Luck on getting Saudi Arabia to commit to fighting ISIL. Or launching a massive recruitment plan. Likewise, generally speaking, refugee camps don’t turn out the best troops…they are running away for a reason. And there are a few logistical problems with having a large Egyptian army fighting a war in Syria/Iraq, even assuming that they would even be willing to do so.
A safe zone for refugees that will double as a base camp for military operations. I don’t know, but something is telling me that is a bit of a conflict in purpose. But what could go wrong?
US Troops deployed in the United States patrolling our borders. What are their rules of engagement? Remember, this is the same Carson who wanted to launch drone strikes within the United States along the border. And what should we do with the actual Border Patrol? Fire them as they are now redundant? Or perhaps conscript them directly into the military.
Now the real fun will happen when he starts getting push back from the other candidates/media on these points…Carson will immediately start equivocating and be open to changing each and every one. In other words…retreat.

Let me guess. Carson’s plan is to say “I’m going to defeat them!” louder and more forcefully than everyone else.
- Say “I’m going to defeat them!”
- ???
- Victory!

Oh this is fun. the GOP will not declare war, they will not even authorize Obama to do what he is doing. If they did they would own it, and they do not want that.
So now how are they going to support Carson? Well they wont have to anyway.

Who here wants a world wide holy war? Because this is how you get a world wide holy war, follow Beb Carson and the GOP’s advice on foreign policy.

Indeed. I think in the debate, he will/should start marketing The Carson Belt as a solution to prevent terrorism, gun violence and rape.
