The Philippines shows that terrorism works. Way to go!
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Philippines said on Monday it would withdraw its troops from Iraq as soon as possible to save a Filipino hostage threatened with death by militants.
How utterly moronic. I am speechless. Even if you didn’t agree with the war, pulling them out at a time when they are performing humanitarian work is utterly spurious, much more so when you do it at the call of a bunch of murderous thugs. Gloria Arroyo has shown all the backbone of the Filipino glutenous rice pudding I’m so fond of.
Spain’s socialist withdrawal was breathtaking in its kowtowing to terrorist demands but it at least had a full scale terrorist attack to contend with. The Philippines has withdrawn at the sight of just one of its citizens hooded at gunpoint.
Nice work Gloria - now they’ll leave you till after they’ve finished killing all the other Iraqis, Americans, English, Homosexuals, Jews and infidels.
Later
