One Of His Own Military Commanders Says Obama’s Ebola Plan Could Be Worthless; "Katie Bar the Door..."

Norvell Rose / Western Journalism

Without a doubt, a highly decorated, four-star Marine Corps General has courage and conviction. But this particular Marine — Gen. John Kelly, head of the U.S. Southern Command — has demonstrated real guts by coming right out and saying something that his own Commander-in-Chief might not like to hear.

While President Obama calls for more health screenings at a handful of U.S. airports, Gen. Kelly argues that the real threat of a domestic Ebola outbreak could come sweeping across the southern border…which has nothing to do with air travel into the United States.

CNSNews.com reports on a “Katie bar the door” speech that this top military commander recently gave at the National Defense University, predicting that Ebola will not be contained to West African countries:

…and if infected people flee those countries and spread the disease to Central and South America, it could cause “mass migration into the United States” of those seeking treatment.

 

“If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door.’”

In reporting on Gen. Kelly’s warning about a possible flood of Ebola-infected illegal immigrants, the Daily Mail noted Kelly’s often-stated concern about the Obama administration’s lax border security policies worsening the Ebola problem for the United States:

Making matters potentially worse, Kelly warned that the same human trafficking networks responsible for bringing illegal immigrants northward through Mexico could unwittingly pass Ebola to the U.S. through their human cargo.
