Ben Carson: If Obama Can't Even Say The Word 'War,' How Can He Fight It?

Monday on NewsmaxTV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” Dr. Ben Carson said President Barack Obama’s reaction to the threat of ISIS is “amateur night” and until he can actually say we are at war how can he act.

The former chief of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center said, “Until he is actually is able to utter the words we are at war with these Arabs, I don’t know if he will be able to do what is necessary. If he can’t even utter the words how will he actually be able to execute the action?”

Carson said the presidents insistence to tell the enemy his future plans is “amateur night, when did you let your enemies know what your going to do? The element of surprise and mystery is one of the key factors in victory. If we are just going to go out and blab about what we are going do and what we are not going to do the only benefit is a political benefit.”
