#1 I think its time for Bush to give the Philippine president a call on the phone and tell her to get off the farking stick, quit playing footies with the devil and do something about the JI in the MILF camps.

#2 CF, you're assuming that she can. Much of the Phillipine military is worthless. They have little transport, nothing much in logisitics, poorly trained and poorly led troops, generals who are more experienced in coup-plotting than counter-insurgency tactics, and not much in the way of funds to tix any of this. And she's consitutionally prohibited from just asking us to come in and mop them up.
