Seems like the WND article that was cited in the blog said that at least one Congressman asked for the exact goals/duties of the mission to be enumerated because they aren’t clear. A couple goals that were stated were to train local medical personnel and to create a 25-bed facility for any workers who would get sick. Those don’t necessarily seem like military duties, which led to the questions about how many medical personnel would be with the military to accomplish those things.
What stands in sharp contrast is the claims that the US doesn’t need to be concerned about ebola, contrasted with the Obama regime’s recent claims that it’s inevitable that it will be here and we need to prepare for an epidemic, etc. The regime is talking out of both sides of its mouth, and I can’t help but think that the regime is hiding from us the fact that at least some strains of the virus have become airborne.
Somebody in Congress asked the regime to tell us why they are warning us about an epidemic here, if the virus is not airborne. I hope we get some answers.
“the military is being sent to maintain order, not nurse the sick....and to maintain a presence against Russian and Chinese, who both would like to exploit Africa’s resources”
I’m all for letting the Russians and Chinese exploit the Ebola epidemic in Africa. Let them go tend in the Ebola vineyard, contract it and take the germs home with them to THEIR countries, not our military catching Ebola and bringing it back home to OUR country, or worse yet, spreading the virus throughout our military. I hope if any of our military are stricken with the virus, the first place they go upon return to the U.S., is to the White House.
