Yes, make western Africa an isolation ward. Shoot down all planes attempting to fly out, sink all ships attempting to flee, and blow up all land vehicles attempting to leave the isolation ward.
The military wont be able to fight the ISIS virus the way they are trained but they can go to Africa and be exposed to an unseen virus?
I think a Community Organizer would be better in organizing a group of native Africans to set up these medical facilities so send the highest paid (include vacation expenses) community organizer in the US.
Anyone seen the Navy commercial ?
It states on it that they are there to protect democracies around the world bla bla.
nothing about protecting here or the constitution.
The whole military has been changed and unless Cruz or Palin ever get in the white house in two years then the military will be destroyed for ever
Good to see that out Commander in Chief won’t put troops on our southern doing the relatively simple task of doing what the military was designed to do - defend our country.
But he will put them across the ocean into the middle of the nastiest medical hellhole on earth, where they could contract arguably the most fearsome disease yet known to mankind.
What a leader.
Active Duty ping.
GReat idea, let’s just potentially expose thousands of our troops to ebola and boko haram and other dark forces.
What a brilliant guy that Obama IS!
A day late! A dollar short!
But does he miss a tee time? No sirree!
NO! That is NOT what our military is for.
“He said he believed the United States needed to make dealing with the Ebola outbreak a national security priority.”
Rather than, say, simply uphold immigration laws that keep the infected out and let their own governments - and taxpayers - handle it.
Obama finally getting behind boots on the ground. Dipwad!
I guess we didn’t learn our lesson from Fukushima. Ask the Navy about Fukushima.
There is no word for the hate I feel for this cretin.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The problem is he intends to deploy in places like Texas...
For American medical personnel to volunteer in West Africa is one thing, but it is unacceptable to expect US military to fight an unseen enemy.
If the CIC is so concerned about saving lives in Africa, let him volunteer to help — after all, his roots are there.
I once again find myself hoping that Obama is merely oblivious to reality (a common hope that seems unsupported by the grim reality). It’s disappointing that (at best) Obama is clueless to the fact that our military has almost no training for that mission.
Uh no. Absolutely not.
I gave Obama too much credit. I thought he had a secret plan.
Now I am convinced he is mental midget that could not even find his way to a small bus.
I also think the kids are rented.
NO!!!! Dammit, NO!!!! Medical help, yes. Sending troops in? No. Defend our own borders.
God only knows how many diseases are walking on in.
good way to undermine our military...this is a medical problem not a war....
I have a better idea, Barry 'ol buddy: you go back to your Kenyan homeland and volunteer. If you survive, we'll talk. Meanwhile, you risk your own kids, not ours.
