Something about a pandemic....
Oh, what was that?...
Wow he dithers and frets over fighting a military threat but when it comes to an anciliary and superfluous mission he is right on top of ‘em.
Not good.
They won
t be able to do anything... and they’ll BRING IT HOME!!
Great idea - now if some of our troops get sick, the VA can take care of that without any problems. Good Lord Almighty.
Obongo is going to send our”Fighters”to become INFECTED???I Don’t Think So!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t go. Period.
Arrgh! “...to HELP Ebola epidemic”?? What are they going to do, shoot people if they try to wash their hands?
Reverse WMD attack on U.S.? WMD not launched at U.S.
Americans Sent to WMD!
Obama's strategy?
Thank God all of the military members in our circle of friends and family got out during Obama’s first term. He has treated the military like trash. This was perfectly depicted by the photo of the young Marine holding an umbrella while this creep made another worthless speech in the Rose Gardening the rain.
What about the World Health Organization or NATO or some other group? We shouldn’t expose our soldiers to this. And quarantine all African visitors until this is stopped.
How much does Obama hate America and Americans?
well there goes our _res__ent Stupid.
He hasn’t got enough of our guys killed in Afghanistan.
Methinks that the Obamadork should go there personally and help each and every patient.
He can further show his courage and manliness by not wearing any protective clothing.
It would be best for this country.
And the world.
Pentagon your call ... Answer NO, please!
West Africa is NOT a national security concern. Ban all flights into/out of West Africa. Isolate West Africa from the rest of the world and let the virus play itself out.
Good God. This idiot has no priorities.
Considering the threat that this disease poses, I wonder if out military is doing this only as a volunteer assignment or if they go even at the cost of their lives.
The military, primarily the U.S.Army is involved, and always is with Ebola, but we don’t need (or want) to be sending line troops in to be exposed.
“The Armed Forces Press Service reported late Friday that military health workers, including an entomologist from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, already are in the affected area providing support ranging from logistical assistance to “clinical management” — assisting in treating affected populations.
“DoD personnel bring a level of excellence second to none, working in response to host nations and WHO in the most-affected countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia,” Army Col. James Cummings, a physician and director of the Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System at the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center told AFPS.
Filoviruses like Ebola have been of interest to the Pentagon since the late 1970s, mainly because Ebola and its fellow viruses have high mortality rates — in the current outbreak, roughly 60 percent to 72 percent of those who have contracted the disease have died — and its stable nature in aerosol make it attractive as a potential biological weapon.
Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, researchers at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases have sought to develop a vaccine or treatment for the disease.”
“We had a large footprint in Africa,” Cummings said of the Defense Department’s response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.”
Could this be the strategy to suspend the November elections?
Bring back Ebola and declare the elections suspended because people won’t be allowed to gather in public places. After all, it will be a health crisis!
