Although Ben Carson says that 4 of the Founding Fathers of the US Constituion were physicans,
so he would appoint more physicians to the top levels of all government agencies.

And even tho he has not yet said he could see Russia from his front door,
there are disquieting rumblings among his campaign's foreign policy handlers...

Ben Carson Is Struggling to Grasp Foreign Policy, Advisers Say
NY Times - TRIP GABRIEL -NOV. 17, 2015
Quote:
Ben Carson’s remarks on foreign policy have repeatedly raised questions
about his grasp of the subject, but never more seriously than in the past week,
when he wrongly asserted that China had intervened militarily in Syria and then failed,
on national television, to name the countries he would call on to form a coalition to fight the Islamic State.
...
“Nobody has been able to sit down with him and have him get one iota of intelligent information about
the Middle East,” said Duane R. Clarridge, a top adviser to Mr. Carson on terrorism and national security.

He also said Mr. Carson needed weekly conference calls briefing him on foreign policy
so “we can make him smart.”

Ben Carson: 'We should have a database on everybody
CNN - Cassie Spodak and Jedd Rosche, CNN 11.20/2015
Quote:
"I think we should have a database on everyone who comes into this country,"
the retired neurosurgeon told reporters from the New Hampshire statehouse Friday,
adding later, "Hopefully, we already have a database on every citizen who is already here.
If not, we are doing a very poor job."
