GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Days after asserting that China is involved in the fight in Syria — and after freshly offering to prove it with his own intelligence — Republican presidential contender Ben Carson acknowledged Friday that there are no Chinese troops in that conflict.

His campaign issued a statement addressing China's "longstanding and well-documented security ties to Syria" while saying "Dr. Carson does not believe China is currently fighting in or deploying troops to Syria."

The statement followed Carson's comments at a South Carolina campaign stop that he had information, better than that available to the White House, showing China's involvement in Syria. "I'm surprised my sources are better than theirs," he said.

Trump should just lay off Carson, as he's self-destructing just fine without the Donald's help.

What he said still may be true. Other news sources say there are chines advisers and equipment heading that way. His clarification just says no troops are there.

"Might" is the key word. Carson made the claim. There's a distinction there.
 
Every time Carson opens his mouth Hillary does a happy dance. What a moron and what a bunch of morons to be supporting this nutcase.

I am in shock but it certainly looks like it will be Hillary in the White House. I just assumed somebody would edge her out but it doesn't look that way now.

He did not say there were troops. That's what this was about, right?
