I vote we use Ebola to fight ISIS.

How so? Are you recommending sending troops?

It will take a global effort to stop this outbreak of Ebola. The longer it stays in dense population centers, the more likely it is to evolve to a more easily transmissible virus.
Not convinced it's something we all need to be concerned about? Monitor the main news providers of the West African nations that are in full-scale battles with Ebola. It's like watching Outbreak but in a setting that has very few defenses against the disease.

Yes, about a half a million.
You can win a war with air power alone. Any person with the tiniest amount of military knowledge would know this.
We should start in Iraq, and push them into Syria and then Invade/Overthrow all in Syria. I want to drink a 30 pack of Budweiser on the beach of Lattakia

Investment? Can that be used in a situation that has a guaranteed zero return?

Sure they need to help too, but the world has a stake in not letting this get completely out of control.
Imagine the human cost if it gets loose somewhere like Mumbai.

WHO has a nice little scheme to make money.
Also how is obama suppose to trim down the military if he doesn't send them to get ebola and then let it run rampant through the va system. It takes out vets and active duty and obama puts in his change troops

You think the VA is bad now...

I have no problem with what Obama is doing. Ebola is a much bigger issue than Archer and friends will ever be.

So you want to send over a third of our active duty military to fight ISIS?! You're crazy.

The President seems bent on bringing all manner of diseases into the US. I don't know why, other than the obvious.
I really don't understand who Congress is so silent on all of this.

They don't want any ammo against them in November. Both sides.

ISIS: See Sierra Leone Civil War 3/1995-11/1996 for the solution (albeit on a larger scale). Al Maliki asked for this problem when he wouldn't meet the terms of the proposed status of forces agreement. Any further military action should only be performed by the U.S. after Al Abadi meets the commitments of the SOF agreement, and pledges resources to pay for our engagement. We've spent too much blood and treasure there with no tangible, positive outcome.
Ebola: Sending troops to combat a disease in Africa? The motivation is understandable, as is the notion of residual good will thereafter (which never really happens), but unless and until African countries and European countries ante up their soldiers and medical resources (not just pledge, but put them on the ground), we should not put our soldiers in harms way. This should not be a unilateral mission.

ISIS is an arm of the US/Saudi/Israeli terrorist network.
And this Ebola outbreak started in a lab.
Another example of -- create the problem to solve the problem while exploiting an agenda.
