Re: Troops to the Philippines
Somehow my previous post got lost.
Bush is rewarding his pal Arroyo for her support in the war on terror. That's what friends do I guess. It's not as if the Abu Sayyaf aren't worth hunting down like rabid dogs.
But Gloria faces a small problem. It is against the constitution of the Philippines for foreign troops to fight on that country's soil. Advisors and trainers are okay, warriors are not. So far Ms Arroyo has not come out and said "They are only here to train our troops again." Interesting.
Even more interesting is that Dubya may be looking for a new place to relocate those U.S. military personel now serving in South Korea. Seeing how badly he has screwed up with the NorKors.
