Ho-Lee Crap!!!----Marine General John F. Kelly: 'No way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa'

Marine General John F. Kelly: 'No way we can keep Ebola [contained] in West Africa' by Kevin Whiteman:
"With most of the American media missing this, the Department of Defense’s Defense Media Activity generically reported on Oct. 8, 2014 that the Marine Corps four star in command of the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM-Responsible for all U.S. military activities in South America and Central America. Encompasses nineteen countries, represents about one-sixth of the world's land mass ...) painted a none too rosy picture regarding the spread of the Ebola virus from West Africa to the Americas.
While delivering a speech at the Defense Department’s National Defense University in Washington, D.C., Gen. John F. Kelly cited the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when he stated that by New Year’s Day there will be 1.4 million people infected, and of that number, 62 percent will be dying.
The Commanding General of SOUTHCOM also made note that if and when the Ebola virus comes to the Western Hemisphere, “many countries have little ability to deal with an outbreak of the disease.” Continuing, Kelly also stated,
“So, much like West Africa, it will rage for a period of time.
This is a particularly possible scenario if the disease gets to Haiti or Central America.”

Speaking very matter-of-factly, Gen. Kelly recognized the 800 pound gorilla in the room that critics of Barack Obama and his Administration accuse him of ignoring:
“If the disease gets to countries like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador, it will cause a panic and people will flee the region. 
If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States.”"
