US soldiers under Ebola quarantine in Italy told to go home
Saudi Press Agency ^ | 10/29/14 | staff

Rome, Muharram 05, 1436, October 29, 2014, SPA -- Italy should not allow US soldiers returning from Ebola-stricken Liberia to be quarantined in Italy, the governor of the region that hosts a US army base said in an interview Wednesday, according to dpa.

Since Sunday, 11 soldiers back from active duty in the West African nation have been kept in isolation at the US army base in Vicenza, a town in north-east Italy about 40 kilometers from Venice.

"I am stunned ... Why should we be stuck with these soldiers who are at risk," Veneto President Luca Zaia said in La Repubblica newspaper. --SPA

I wondered how long it would be before we heard from Italians about using their nation as a place to quarantine US military personnel returning from nations with ebola outbreaks. We have many times more territory than Italy.

“O” is just continuing his demonstration to our allies (those remaining) and our friends just how little respect he has for them.

Actually, this is only stage one. If one single person from this comes down with the virus...the Italians go into panic mode. The EU might get involved and ask stupid questions about procedures. It all gets messy, if we go beyond stage one.

So like this admin...don’t put us at risk, out others at risk. What a dumb idea to send the, there for quarantine. Maybe dumber to send them to an ebola zone in the first place.

Oh yeah. The headline yesterday grabbing Italy in on this mess.

They are on a US Army Post in Northern Italy and I am certain no one in the Jarrett admen asked politely (legally it’s probably allowed by SOFA) I don’t know.

What is wrong with the American public that we are not controlling this situation run by our employees (the government)?

The Italians are reacting normally, as WE should.

This is breathtaking, unimaginable incompetence in action in full blown view on the world stage.

Seriously, how does Obama ever plan to randomly appear in public again? He’s an epic village fool no matter what he does. Everything he touches turns to crap. It’s like a reverse Midas curse...

Who even knew we had 11 soldiers in quarantine? Somehow that’s escaped the media, while we hear about every single case that’s quarantined in this country.

What, the obamites never asked the Italians for permission to use a base on their soil for a hot zone quarantine facility??

My O My, talk about trust. There goes another ally

Obama is probably using Italy like this because his idiotic domestic ebola policies would have infuriated even more Americans if US military personnel were being quarantined in the US while medical personnel weren’t being quarantined, medical personnel who’d had far more contact with ebola patients in Africa.

The narrative is rapidly unraveling. The Dear Leader needs a new Ebola Czar.

Yesterday, I wrote about other countries having Ebola patients. Seems our news doesn’t reflect it. Imagine that.

As Putin allegedly said, King Obola is the chess playing pigeon: he knocks the chess pieces over, messes on the board, then struts around like he won the game!

I guess this is more payback from emperor Hussain. Ya see, Italy invaded a few nations in Africa circa 1935 and this is payback I guess. He probably was told to not send them to his favorite target, England so Italy was a close second.

Italy and NATO have had a tenuous relationship since one of our aircraft ran into a ski lift some years ago also. Probably close to this area.

When I first saw we were sending our quartantines to Italy, I said that seems odd. I wonder how they got the paisano’s to agree to that one. More than likely, they “overlooked” that nasty detail.

They have become our overlords through NSA spying, IRS intimidation and police brutality, not our employees which they used to be.

Park an LHA off the coast and use the 100 bed hospital onboard. Let the soldiers chip paint and clean the ship for the next 21 days.
