General: US Troops Who Contract Ebola Will Be Quarantined in Liberia
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 18, 2014 | Edwin Mora

If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized, and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, said the Ebola mission commander, adding that the U.S. military hospitals that will admit potentially infected troops have not yet been identified.

“If, God forbid, one of these soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marine contracted this disease, as I mentioned, they would be stabilized, they would be quarantined, we would go through the appropriate protocols,” Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Africa, said on October 16 while briefing reporters in the Pentagon by telephone from Liberia. “People would be attending to them in the appropriate PPE [personal protective equipment]."

Call me nuts but I believe he is depleting our protective Military and setting us up for massive epidemic in our country.

It could be even more. Suddenly, 0bola has an excuse to keep huge numbers of loyal troops out of the country. He can then engage in all sorts of predatory behavior with his picked home guard. The revamped military leadership that has been purged of 197 top staff could be a factor too.

It isn’t pathetic. It is treasonous. The rational response would be no less than one million armed Americans in front of the White House demanding immediate detainment of every high up in this admin until the truth is revealed.

You can bet they won’t get flown back for treatment in a nice well equiped US Level 4 Unit.

“Aid worker” is a blanket title which could mean anything. Bethesda or Emory, who knows where the “aid worker” they could have transfered him/her. Five, and now closer to 6, weeks is a long time. Maybe it was the super duper serum Brantly and Writebol got but they were out of the hospital in about 3 weeks. Do we know how long those who get proper treatment in Liberia stay in the hospital?

Okay, let me wrap my head around this one:

Obola wants to bring INFECTED NON-CITIZENS back to the USA for treatment of their disease?

But they want US TROOPS to be isolated downrange WITHOUT BEING BROUGHT BACK for treatment??

Am I reading this right?

If anyone in the military contracts this deadly disease, I hope they get a personal meeting with the CIC and plant a nice wet kiss on him. If they are of Italian ancestry, they can call it La Boccia di Morte.

Our troops will be quarantined in Liberia while Obama issues orders for thousands of Haitians, Africans, etc. to be flown INTO the US for treatment and refuge. How long before we stand up against this terrorist that we have allowed to take over our government?

Thanks hummingbird. I truly believe most of what happens is what Obama wants to happen.

I agree with you and I think he only ‘seems’ inept because nobody can imagine an American President would deliberately do things that harm our country.

But, what about Congress, they can’t all be fooled yet they do nothing.

“The Ebola-stricken aid worker arrived in Atlanta from West Africa on a specially equipped “air ambulance” Sept. 9. The patient was driven from the airport to Emory University Hospital, then whisked into a state-of-the-art isolation and treatment facility.”

“”Hard to believe that after 5 weeks not one bit of info has leaked out about this 0b0la aid worker.””

All kidding aside, this sounds like a closely guarded “political” secret that has to do with the patient’s identification, even when cured and discharged.

- Could it be an 0b0z0la relative from Kenya? Could have been visiting W. AFRICA from E. Africa.

- Do we know if one of the known dems visited W. Africa recently?

Other thoughts may be far-fetched for any other administration but certainly not for this disastrous anti-American bunch of comunists running the country DOWN!

Yup. I'll be calling some of my former troops and see what they have heard.

I agree. I am waiting for “the shot heard round the world II” and eagerly anticipate it in response to this treasonous POS.

Obama hates the US military that he has usurped the position to command. We see it in EVERYTHINQ he does involvinq the military. He will kill them off one way or another. And it will be the US voters, Conqress, the judiciary, law enforcement, and the media who will carry the bloodquilt for their deaths, because they let a foreiqn enemy combatant illeqally act as Commander in Chief - violatinq Article 1 and the 20th Amendment.
