File under: Moro Islamic Liberation Front

#1 He said he did not want to have "another Iraq" in South-East Asia

#2 40 years? Don't they mean since we left Subic under a layer of volcanic dust? We've been back, what, 3 or 4 years, giving the Filipino's balls again, killing these islamofascist pieces at a nice rate(they are suing for peace, that's the sure sign). Leave 'em inflatables with paddles, let 'em make their way to the peace talks in Malaysia. Exxon/Mobil and Halliburton can help the folks get to the "hydrocarbon and mineral deposits" they can stop living in the Stone Age. HA!

#3 I think the Army Rangers and possibly the Marines have been having regular, what I think they call "training exercises" with the Philippine forces down there, Last Breath Farm Resident. 49 Pan has commented about it occasionally, if I recall correctly.

#4 Precisely my point with the "We've been back ......" sentence. We've also opened fronts in the GWOT in Africa(even creating an Africa Command)and South America. Like dog shit, we're everywhere and that's a good thing.
