Discussion: Ben Carson: I Didn't Say I Want To Use Drones To Kill People

“There are caves that they utilize. Those caves can be eliminated. There are a number of possibilities,” Carson said on the program. “I’m not talking about killing people.”

Uncle Ben’s under the mistaken impression that two half-witted comments make one whole good idea.

I would also wonder about Carson’s views on the Underground Railroad. Not that there is a comparison with illegal immigration. You could have imagined him then. “That dang Tubman”.

So basically he just wants to blow up these holy sites. Good job, Ben.

So he says one thing but means something else. Just the guy we need stating the nation’s positions on critical world issues.

Exactly!

Even worse however, jony mc and flake want their uranium mining masters to be able to open pit strip mine them…including the grand canyon lands…

Last week jony mc was trying to make nice with the navajo and he was literally run off their land, since he was the one behind taking their oak flats and giving it to his mining masters.

gop/bags, are nothing but crooks, liars and very dangerous!

'Delusional" Is the entire republican party in its current form! It is quite obvious that their world has no resemblance to the world the rest of us live in - in other words, those who give a shit about others. I think I am going to spend the rest of my Sunday away from reading any more stupid stuff coming out of their orifices

I actually have no problem with unarmed survalence drones on the border. It could be a very usefully twofer in border monitoring and live exercise training for the U.S. military in gaining experience for and improving our drone pilots, communication technicians, aircraft maintenance folks, etc.

The whole “caves” thing is batshit crazy, as is the suggestion of armed drones, but there are some ways to leverage assets to get more bang for our tax bucks and have better experienced/trained military folks.

Thanks, Guy. “Tunnels” not “Caves and things.” Nice to see the good doctor demonstrating the precision language needed by a chief executive.

So, how would drones help, do you suppose? Do they have magic “tunnel-vision” that would allow them to spot these tunnels? Do they carry special missiles that only destroy unoccupied caves, er, I mean tunnels?

The mind boggles.

I wouldn’t understand why the cartels would be hiding out in caves. I mean rule number one is to get out of the dessert and to a safe house before the dessert kills you. Unless these are in the high dessert parts of the southwest.

Any time I see a piece of apple pie coming, I start looking for the closest safe house. The calories in those things are lethal.

Mr Carson just what the heck do you think “drone strikes” means?? Sir, you are out of your league in this race.

I live in Pima County Arizona, less than 50 miles from the Mexican border. There is a mountain range to the north of my home in Tucson that towers to over 9000 feet in elevation. To my knowledge there is one large cave in that range and because it is so well known it would be useless to any cartel bad guys. Most of the rest of the caves here abouts are also well known and not conducive to drug runners. Speaking of tunnels under the border, they get found with regularity and closed down. It’s the job of the broder patrol and they do it effectively.

Exactly the point.

“they” are only “hiding out in caves” in these two clowns imagination. Oh, that and to rile up the old retirees that is. Gotta scare grandma.

Dr. Ben has it all figured out.
The drones will be outfitted with loudspeakers and programmed to play mariachi music to lure out anyone in the caves, and then once the inhabitants have exited … blammo!

He saw it done in a video game, so he knows it will succeed.
