Michael Pond POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Canon City, Colorado Registered: Jul 2003 Admin Use	posted 09-21-2014 05:29 PM Why will the President commit 3000 U.S. troops to the ebola out break, which is not their job and none to Iraq and the fight against ISIL, which is their job?? Doesn't make any scense.. Let the U.N. get off its A$$ and fight the ebola outbreak. That is their job!! Maybe the U.N. can help Obama pull his head out of his A$$ so he can see what's going on. Maybe thats why he cant see to hit his golf balls. JMHO

I see your point and I agree. I'm sick of looking at wounded young people who will be affected forever. One American isn't worth a thousand people who won't even fight for their own country. But...here's the problem. If we are going to let hundreds of thousands of people who are dangerous come and go freely in and out of our country,it becomes OUR problem. SECURE THE BORDERS !!!!
padroo POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Chesterton, IN, USA Registered: Dec 2010 Admin Use	posted 09-21-2014 06:28 PM Has it ever really made any sense to practically strip search people getting on airplanes and not protecting the borders? It's kind of like closing a gate but no fence around the corral.
beachcat BANNED From:Ontario, Canada Registered: Jul 2011 Admin Use	posted 09-21-2014 06:37 PM Ebola knows no borders. Fighting it over there, just might prevent or lessen the very real danger to Americans at home. It might actually make financial sense. And from what I understand, the 3000 troops would not be exposed to or in close proximity to the ebola victims..

Maybe the U.S. should ask 'you people' to send 3000 over to Africa, to help out........instead of possibly exposing 'our people'? Time for the U.S. to take the back seat, and let the rest of the world take the lead... The world hates us anyway, just wants our money and supplies.. ----------------------------------------------------------- Padroo,,, I like the way you put it,,,,you might become a conservative after-all..

Michael Pond POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Canon City, Colorado Registered: Jul 2003 Admin Use	posted 09-22-2014 02:29 PM The U.S. already has boots on the ground in Iraq. They are called contractors. Who do you think is directing and lighting up the targets for the bombers?If ISIL shoots down one of our planes, who is going to help the pilot, ISIL? You can bet the President knows this. I have been a contract pilot for the State Dept before; Mexico, Africa, and Pakistan. Can't beat the money! If we were shot down or captured, the government would not claim to know us. I was shot at more as a civilian than in Vietnam. If you were ever on the AirAmerica pay role, you could always expect a call for help. I know ebola knows no borders, but so does ISIL. Just think of the deaths Isil could cause by jusy infecting our water supplies!! It would make Ebola look like a common cold.

With the money ISIS has , it should be no problem. My bet is that they are alreday here. If they are not interested why make the commit that they want to raise their flag in the White House. Maybe they want to get in a few rounds of Golf? IN this country we defeat ideology with elections, they do it by intimidation and fear. Which has been the most effective in Iraq and Syria? jmho

Michael,,,I'm not asking about ideology in this country,,,nor how ISIS defeats other ideologies ,,,,I'm asking how we as country defeat the ISIS ideology? Intimidation and fear is not working against ISIS now ....on the contrary, they are trying to install fear into the minds of Joe Average Citizen who doesn't want to experience another 9-11 episode. How will success be defined in dealing with them? When Texas and New Mexico fly the black ISIS flag in Austin and Albuquerque....then I'll be concerned.
