#1 "To manage Ebola is not rocket science. It's very basic infection control and very basic protection of staff," said Pederson who said clean water, chlorine and soap were enough to disinfect an affected area.

Right, that's why over 400 healthcare workers have contracted this harmless little bug that cannot be transmitted through the air.
That's why it spreads like wildfire and is impossible to contain.
Whatta maroon.

#3 "Disinfect an affected area" > a statement which strongly infers that that even rudimentary infection control + sanitation, hygiene, etc. are NOT being followed either by local Govt or Society at large.

War, Terror, or Ebola, etc. it still comes to
"Better Over There than Over Here" for any World Govt-Nation.

Given Liberia's importance to US "Diamond/Diadem Strategy" vee US AFRICOM + OWG AFRICAN UNION, hence a de facto National Security interest to the USA, what POTUS Bammer needs to do is send in not less than 5000-10000 US Troops + Mil/Combat Engineers + Civie Expert teams from the US Nationwide Medical-Pharmaceutical Industries, + build massive, temporary, but also secure, Medical/Ebola Treatment Camps-Barracks in or near affected areas to properly treat infected Liberian locals + border refugees.

Use the US Civie Perts to test any new, experimental anti-Ebola drugs on these same infected Liberian locals + border refugees, wid their consent of course.

The US Army wiped out Yellow Fever + Malaria while building the Panama Canal + in Cuba - it can do the same wid Ebola.

Anyone whom criticizes the US as once again trying to be the malicious imperialistic
"World's Policeman" for this effort vee Ebola can go to hell.

#4 Use the Engineers to not only build the Treatment/Medical Camps-Barracks but also improve Liberia's local Water, Power, + Sewer Infrastructure.

AFAIK IMO LIBERIA = COLD WAR BURMA/MYNAMAR = ALL-BUT-IGNORED FOR TOO LONG BY THE POWERS THAT BE IN WASHINGTON DC.
