Way to go!!
I am sure that your bowing to terrorist demands will bring peace to Iraq.
:rolleyes:

What? I'm confused... what does that have to do with peace in Iraq... or Iraq at all?

He's saying it will show others that terrorism works, such as in the example of trying to get Western presence out of Iraq.

'Nothing' would be the answer to your question. The Phillipines were one of the nations in the '30 strong' coalition of the willing - i.e. a couple of dozen 'advisors' to make up the numbers.
On a sidenote, I'm surprised there was no comment on the Butler report regarding WMD published earlier this week concluding that intelligence about its existance was seriously flawed - but strangely no one was at fault. Which was nice for Bliar and co.
-
I'm sure thats what he was getting at, but I couldn't help but laugh when I read "no peace in Iraq."
There won't be regardless for a long time. In any event, I'd be more concerned with our mainland - and other's too - at this junction.
We might be in for a big bang this election year... or we might not, who knows. I do know this, bananas are not good to eat when they are brown and liquified.

The future of Iraq will not be affected by this pullout, but the future of the Phillippines will be. The Phillippines are crawling with Moslem terrorists, and now they have seen how spineless the government is.

imagine how stupid they are going to feel when the terrorists behead this guy anyways.

Just goes to show how hastily Iraq war was put together

ask for help in the future again:aok

So you honestly think that giving in to these guys demands is the right thing to do?

do you not see that by giving in to terrorist demands you are going to evoke more terrorist attacks.
I hardly see how because of this you assume the war was poorly planned?
-
Nope...
In this case... It's just as wrong as it was for them to give into the US's demands originally.
Damned if they do...
(k.... just being a sht disturber here. RUN FOREST RUN! :) )

Well Slo, I bet u a dime to a dollar those phillipinos that fought bravely with my uncle in the phillipines are not only rolling over in their graves but are also doing a good job of cussing their sissyfied grandkids out
-
I wasn't talking about WHY they are pulling out....
just the fact that when they help all is cool....when THEY decide its over you bash em just because you do not agree with their timing of withdrawel...
why can't you just say thank you for the help and leave at that....but no.....bashing is more fun

This is unfortunately the bare bones of it.

Umm I thought i read that they were allready pulling out, they just pulled out a month early.?
-
Slo re pull out we bash them.
SLO cant you truly see what is going on.Unless you are one of the terriost or muslim...u are a barbarian to them,they would love to kill u and you family right now.They saw a decent size power in Spain turn and run like...u name it...on there web sites they said they did not expect spain to do that. it isnt rational they see everyone as cowards and in the end be it 100 years from now they will win.Dont u remember what appeasment did with hitler and others.Slo please respectfully grow up be for it is to late.there are 2 plus billion of them,what are u going to do when they come for you and yours.What spain and the phillipeans have done has made us less safe,what france and germany have done has made us less safe.

You have no ****ing clue on what's happeneing in the Philippines right now...
here are some examples...
*Philippine economy and law & order is in shambles... They need rebuild their country first...
*Im 1000 percent sure that Arroyo's opponenents, liberals, ect would try to overthrow her current admin if they chose to ignore the terrorist demands.
Btw, most Filipinos believe that the US invaded Iraq based on fabricated intel reports from CIA.

^btw, most philipinos are wrong ;)

It's the principle of the act. It'll make headlines.
Which is stronger?
"40 coalition troops head home."
"ALL Phillipino troops pull out of Iraq."

This will be my final post on the subject, as it will be very easy to cut&paste to other future threads.
1. The governing party in Spain, then in the opposition, promised to withdraw the troops from Iraq long before 3-11.
2. The terrorist demands were to withdraw troops from Iraq AND Afghanistan
3. The new government withdrew the spanish troops from Iraq
4. Spain just sent more troops to Afghanistan (bet that didn't make the news there).
So we are giving in to terrorist demands... right.
Most people in Spain were with the US in the war in Afghanistan to get OBL.
Most people in Spain were against the war in Iraq.
We withdrew our troops from Iraq. We are sending more to Afghanistan. I see the logic. Do you?

Labor have been promising to pull our diggers out 'by christmas' for months if they win power late this year...no doubt it'll be spun into some rushed last minute "spineless withdraw" by the liberal govt. and Howard's best friend GWB. when it happens...

In politics popular perception becomes the truth: perception is everything. If the concors populi says Spain and the Phillipines caved then that is what happened.
Policies and decisions will be based upon that perception. It does not matter if in reality it is removed from the truth. If the people believe it, it is the de-facto truth.
sorry...

Thats fine, but bowing to the terrorists demands by pulling out a month early will only make it that much harder to stabilize their own country. Now that the people causing the trouble sees how the Filipino government gives in to terrorist demands how do you think that will affect their actions in the future? If anything, she just put herself and her government in a more precarious position by giving in and pulling the troops out a month early.

If you didn't understand, heres what I meant:
It shows how hastily decisions were made concerning the iraq war and now those who found out they weren't thinking far enough are pulling out.
Spain was a good example... back then the administration weren't taking into count what the people thinks and what are they or the people willing to risk for this particular war.
Philippinos nor spaniards simply didn't think the iraq war is their war and therefore it didn't need much setbacks to pull them out of iraq.
If the administration would been smart, they would have never participated.
I guess they wanted to get in better relationship with the USA and disregarding their own people.
