With boots-on-the-ground heading to Liberia to help 'manage' the anarchic dystopia that a frightened nation has become, General David Rodriguez (Commander, US Africa Command) held a briefing today to explain US troops' role:
- QUESTION: Will they be in contact with individuals or just specimens?
- RODRIGUEZ: They come in contact with the individuals.
Of course this was followed by a stream of qualifiers that all protection possible will be taken (just like the nurses in Madrid?)
Via Bloomberg Transcript,
KIRBY: Afternoon, everybody. I'm proud to welcome into the briefing room General David Rodriguez, commander of Africa Command. He's here to give you an update on U.S. contributions to the effort against Ebola -- U.S. military contributions to the effort against Ebola in West Africa. And with that, sir, I'll turn it over to you.
QUESTION: Just a clarification on that, please. Will they be in contact with individuals or just specimens?
GENERAL DAVID M. RODRIGUEZ (USA), COMMANDER, U.S. AFRICA COMMAND: They come in contact with the individuals and they do that. And they're -- like I said, it's a -- it's a very, very high standard that these people have operated in all their lives, and this is their primary skill. This is not a -- you know, just medical guys trained to do this. This is what they do for a living.

No boots on the ground to fight ISIS, but boots on the ground to fight ebola... does anybody here think this makes sense?
To: SeekAndFind
Yes. It imports ebola on a large number of carriers - Obola’s plan.

Possibly the reason they are being sent is that we have units which are trained to render aid during Biological and chemical warfare and I suspect that these are the units on the ground. Very high levels of expertise and equipment.
To: buffaloguy
Possibly. But it is also possible that 0bama sent the least knowledgeable people so that an assured and massive dose returns to America to help complete 0bama’s “Transformation”.
Why not?
Everything else 0bama does seems targeted at destroying America.

Mostly we are going to be doing construction and logistics and medical instruction classes over there (trying to produce 500 medical helpers a week), I don’t know how many CBRN people will be sprinkled around, but there would have to be some, for the experience if for nothing else.

They lied
again . They said the troops would be miles away from the outbreak areas and have no contact with infected patients.
Will our Useful Idiot press ever get tired of this administration's constant lying, and call them on it? Then again , this is what journalists are supposed to do. No one in the MSM is a journalist.

The news just announced that several hundred troops from Fort Eustis are being sent over. They arent NBC units, neither are the 3000 members of the 101st.

You know the game, The Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon?
Try the same concept with ebola.
Pretty much anyone in our country, will have 7 or fewer connections that will get us to an ebola carrier. We won’t personally know all the connections, some will be due to contact with surfaces that are contaminated by carriers.
O’Bola truly wants us dead. He hates the military, therefore he makes them into ebola nurses. He hopes they bring the disease home to their families. I am a member of one of those families, with 3 currently serving military members.
