7/20 Are Filipinos embarassed over your country being cowards?
\_ they should be. They should of stand tall and so *NO* to
American at first place.
\_ Chicom troll! U Rock! -Chicom Troll #1 fan
\_ Just want to inform you guys that USA is bullying
just about everyone to contribute troops in Iraq hence
caused a lot of resentment toward USA. An interesting
case is the Korean one. I was talking to a Korea national
(not Korean-American), he told me that Koreans are generally
bitter toward USA for the beheading of one of the translator,
eventhough it is Iraqi who was doing the killing, resentment
toward USA is far exceed resentment toward Iraq
\_ the filipino president just barely won her election and
there were lots of charges of voter fraud, she decided
having the US mad at her was less important than no political
support at home, AT ALL, at this time.
\_ They were scheduled to withdraw in August. Troops home 10 days
early, 1 truck driver alive. Definite cowardice.
\_ Have you stopped beating your wife? And why do you hate America?
\_ http://csua.org/u/89q (Filipino gets hammered, then hammers wife)
\_ I am troubled by the fact that they gave into terrorists but I
fail to see how not withdrawing is an act of bravery. It's
not like an soldiers or government officials would have had their
heads cut off. They could have just decided to let the guy
get fucked to save face. Would that be considered brave?
\_ The thing about Filipines is that it has like a million OFW
(overseas filipino workers) working in muslim countries. It has
take their interest and safety into consideration.
\_ Well in the long run they have just painted a huge target on
those poor OFW's. Now any small-time kidnapper with a beef
against the Phillipines just has to grab a filipino and
threaten to behead them and they'll have the phillipine Gov't
at their knees. Way to reward the terrorists, guys.
\_ Umm... don't you think you might be exagerating a little?
All they got was the withdrawal of a mere 50 troops just 10
days ahead of schedule. I'd hardly call that
'at their knees'.
\_ but maybe this Iraq business isn't where they should make
a stand, and unnecessarily threaten the lives of the OFWs.
Do the Islamic terrorists just kidnap people from random
countries and make random demands on those countries?
\_ They're planning on kidnapping some Finns so they can
demand more cell phones.
\_ Do Filipinos have an inferiority complex?
\_ As Paolo points out, their country is named after
a Spanish king. What do you think? -- ilyas
\_ oh yea, whatever. at least they don't change
their name to barnstone just to cover up
their heritage.
\_ at first, it seems like randomn. But now the pattern is
quite clear: kidnapping the not-so-willing allies, and
put the final straw which break the camel.
\_ Forget OFWs, I bet the Philippines are more worried about the
Muslims in their own country (the embattled southern islands have
lots of Muslim extremists, and reportedly a few of Osama's
illegitimate children).
\_ Last time I check, we dumped over 10 billions in 10 years helping
these "freedom fighters" to do the fighting in Afghanstan. Now,
please tell me who is rewarding the terrorist again?
\_ You have been Trolled. -OP |
