Ebola crisis: Yes, we need to help but is Obama ready to keep Americans safe?

By Betsy McCaughey Published September 19, 2014 FoxNews.com


America is silently acquiescing to President Obama’s extraordinarily expensive and flawed plan to fight Ebola in West Africa.

Tuesday, Obama announced he is committing $763 million dollars and 3,000 military personnel to taming the outbreak that so far has killed 2,400 people.

Though help is urgently needed there, the plan does too little to protect Americans.

Obama said nothing about temporarily banning commercial air travel between the U.S. and West Africa, in order to help prevent Ebola from coming here. Some 220,000 residents of West African countries have visas that permit them to enter the United States.

Our Troops Have Work To Do Before Acting As Red Cross

So do I understand this message correctly?  3,000 troops to Africa and not a single troop to our Southern border.  What is totally wrong  with this picture. Tell me, tell me--who oh why? 

Boots On The Ground: The president declares that ground troops are a non-option against the Islamic State, then orders 3,000 troops to Africa as a surrogate Red Cross. The U.S. military should be too busy for that.

Operation United Assistance — that's the big new war effort against, um, Ebola. Ayatollah Ebola? Who is that, IS's chief mullah?

Radical Islam may be a disease that must be eradicated, but the president who promised the Democratic Party's base he would end wars has decided we can't even consider committing ground forces to combat the latest, terrifying outbreak of it in Iraq and Syria.

We can, however, have>>>
