| #13 It doesn't help that the current president of the Philippines has a rep of catering to the NPA. |

| #12 The representatives of the Filipino people (aka the democratically elected government) just have to give the word and the troops will be gone and on Stateside R&R in days. That the supporters of the Communist NPA terrorists want the US gone and replaced by a Communist dictatorship is no secret. |

| #8 If the Phils actually succeed in getting us out of their country militarily then the problem will just grow that much faster. The US Mil was out of their country. They asked us back after Sept. 11, 2001 to help fight the islamists. |

| #7 steve, I think the islamist insurgents in southern thailand are fucked cowardly assholes and a problem in the region that is growing,it seems. Good. We're in agreement. Now tell me, what would you want the US to do help the Thais? For me, I'd help the Thais any way they ask to hunt the jihadis down and kill them. But that's just me. |

If the Phils actually succeed in getting us out of their country militarily then the problem will just grow that much faster. The rulers(Thaksin is another story) of Thailand seem to have proven themselves historically as well and (again) seem to be more trustworthy than other nations in the area. |

| #5 hey steve, it sounds like you and 746 are agreeing...what did I miss? I know if we could use satellite technology to thwart roadside bombers we need to use it in the most obvious place (rhymes with I'vegotnoplan) sort of |

| #2 I don't have a problem sharing intel, 746. Tell me, do you support what the Islamicists are trying to do in Thailand? Why don't you lay out your own ideology for us? You know about where I stand. Where do you stand? |
