Actually, I support this move

I could if the US had the resources to do it. We've had diseases walk across our southern border, and those bringing them settled all over the US. We've got veterans dying in the streets because their VA medical care is such a scandal.

How about countries with experience dealing with tropical diseases step up? And the US start worrying about the US.

ISIS ain't stupid, and we're more vulnerable if we use all those resources in Africa.

We have the resources to do it. And it might actually be good training for our troops on dealing with biohazards.

The problem with the border and with the VA is not resources but political will. Both cases are sad and criminally negligent. But that’s the consequences of electing both a rat Senate and a rat POTUS.

Ebola is easily the greater threat. ISIS is an ocean away, and most other Muslim countries have more to fear from ISIS than we do right now. They are a threat that needs to be neutralized, but EBOLA could kill 200 million Americans within one year. ISIS couldn't touch that even if they were armed with a nuke.

But I am concerned whether this administration can competently administer the aid and keep our troops safe while doing so.

The problem is if they don't try, our troops won't be safe anywhere, except on a ship or nuclear sub that never ports. So I'm for Ebola intervention.
