‘It doesn’t make sense’: Concerns over enlisting DOD in Ebola response

·“We don’t need to be taking planners away from the CT [counterterrorism] mission, and that is what is going on,” a Defense Department source told Fox News.

USAID and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are already involved, but President Obama said in an interview last weekend that the U.S. military is being brought in to help stanch the deadly epidemic. Obama said the military could help set up isolation units and provide security for health workers, among other tasks.

But the decision comes as the military is already engaged in counterterrorism operations in Africa, and as the president expands the campaign in the Middle East against the Islamic State.

The Defense source said the White House is behind the move to involve the Defense Department, and a meeting of key leaders was set up for Friday afternoon at the White House.

If it harms America, it makes perfect sense.

It makes as much sense as quartering mules with tuberculosis
and entervirus68 in all 57 States of his Caliphate by Fraud.

Obama and the US Senate DESPISE America and Americans.

it makes perfect sense

they will assign as many right leaning members of the service to ‘help’ the ebola victims. they won’t be given much in the way of protective gear... and in the end, they will be infected, quarantined, and killed ‘for the greater good’

the ‘greater good’ being the destruction of America

“Obama said the military could help set up isolation units and provide security for health workers, among other tasks.”

Ultimately enforcing quarantines and preventing looting by desperate doomed populations requires using lethal force against them

anyone seen how zombie movies usually turn out?
Is Obama going to suit up in biohazard gear and go pay the Marines an inspection visit?

I have stated here before, this administration has openly declared biological war on us, the people. Ayres has stated 25,000,000 of us need to be eradicated to bring us under control.

Per the resident Ebola expert you have more to fear from a hangnail than Ebola.

Block flights from Ebola infected countries.
Protect our citizens by refusing treatment of “global” Ebola victims in our hospitals.
BLOCK/CLOSE THE DAMMED BORDER.
Sounds harsh - but that’s the way it ought to be. They keep dragging these people all over the globe for treatment, we’ll all be infected and dead before December.

It does if you understand what Ubama meant when he promised "fundamental transformation" of the United States of America.

We have more to fear from experts in this corrupt administration who have the common sense and intellectual abilities of a hang nail.

Bad situation to send American troops into. What are they supposed to do with infected rioters with machetes?

I have been wondering how the leftists were going to end the use of money in our country, as well as have martial law.

True Alinsky tactics, Make chaos and take over.

if this will be the cover military takes away certain people under, it makes perfect sense.
