President Barack Obama is expected to issue an executive order Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard forces to Liberia to help contain the Ebola outbreak there, sources told NBC News.

The sources said that eight engineers and logistical specialists from the Guard, both active-duty and reservists, would probably be included in the first deployment. They are expected to help build 17 Ebola treatment centers, with 100 beds apiece. The sources said that no decision had been made.

I think the government is hiding something about Africa plus he is going to have a military coup on his hands at this rate.

Obama is doing his best to widely spread this disease around America. Incompetence or maliciousness doesn’t really matter at this point.

Sure they need more treatment centers. Question is WHY is it up to US to send so many of our precious resources (all branches of military) to do it?

Because of SLAVERY, silly. How dare we turn our backs on a country like LIBERIA, founded by former slaves and descendants of slaves?

Common sense is denied to hateful politically corrected communists. They hate the light.

Soon we’ll be down to a few gay Scoutmasters as our ‘military.’

Makes sense
Send the ‘NATIONAL’ Guard to help build 17 Ebola treatment centers, with 100 beds apiece in Afrika.

While NATIONALLY the US has 9 beds in 4 facilities that can be considered ebola capable treatment centers and 2 of the beds are in use today.

The governors of the states that prez obola wants to press into international service need to refuse and demand that prez obola require the WHO and UN to do their international jobs. Especially since prez obola is such an adherent to the ‘spread the pain’ crowd.

I thought the military he was sending were especially trained to fight bio warfare. Don’t send our National Guard guys. Oh please. What a slaughter!

Jumping into the river to save a drowning victim is just going to create two victims that need saving.

Obama needs to throw ropes of vaccines not men to spread the diseases.
