Doyle McManus covers politics for the Los Angeles Times. We don't always agree but I see much merit in his column arguing that Dr. Ben Carson doesn't have what it takes to be President.
I don't agree, for example, with his worry that Carson thinks U.S. military forces shouldn't be "bound by the laws of war." It is clear to me that recent Presidents have too often tied the hands of our military, resulting in inferior performance and excess U.S. casualties.
I agree with McManus that Carson doesn't seem to understand how our law functions, or the difference between debt ceilings and government spending. Though McManus doesn't mention it, I am also concerned that Carson is a creationist.
