BAGHDAD, Iraq — Frantically trying to obtain the release of a captive Filipino truck driver with the clock ticking down, the Philippines (search) said Tuesday it would withdraw its tiny peacekeeping force from Iraq as soon as it can.
Great, thanks guys. By kowtowing to the terrorists who are threatening to behead their guy they are endangering the whole world. Pulling out their 50 troops because of threats by sub-humans sends the message to the terrorists that their way works, that kidnapping innocents and slicing their heads off is a method which works.
A Filipino pullout will only endanger the world and mean a greater chance of acts of terrorism here and abroad. But tell that to the asshat a(peace)ment protestors who say we should leave Iraq as soon as possible. I guess they won't get it until either they get a job, and can no longer go smelly and protest all day, or a nuke blows up a major US city.
