Love you short time...

Tossing herself onto President Intellectually Incapable like a two-dollar hooker, the president of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo spent a good part of her day making the Chimp feel all virile and macho.

Clueless Leader dropped by the PI on his 2003 World Tour of Unpronounceable Countries, to let them know that they could have more support in the War of Metaphors he has stirred up. Down payments for the Philippines includes 20 used Huey helicopters and empty promises for a non-existant threat that Arroyo keeps whining about every time her military revolts.

In an eight-hour visit, Mr. Bush for the first time drew explicit comparisons between the transition he is seeking in Iraq and the rough road to democracy that the Philippines traveled from the time the United States seized it from Spain in 1898 to the present day.
...
But the comparison has less power to reassure, given that the Philippine government did not gain full autonomy for five decades.
...
Mr. Bush said the United States had "liberated the Philippines from colonial rule," using the same verb he often uses to describe American action in Iraq, but he skipped past Washington's own 48-year-long occupation of this archipelago of 7,000 islands.
...
"Murder has no home in any religious faith," Mr. Bush said, "and these terrorists must find no home in the Philippines." He vowed to "bring Abu Sayyaf to justice,"
They will of course be brought to justice as soon as Osama bin Forgotten and Saddam are found and tried, which will happen never because they are really not trying to find them...right?

Once again, our internationally-handicapped intellectually-challenged bought and paid for Fearless Leader has managed to make us all look like idiots. Taking a "whirlwind" tour through the Philippines because the Secret Service said to make it short...yeah, right. Looks like the Tinhorn Terrorists are still winning; President Runnin' Away is still a...ba-caaawk Chickenhawk.

You can't mention it if you don't know about it. (Or if it's not written down on your speech notes.)

As I recall, W was a history major at Yale. I wonder if he stayed awake during lectures on the Philippines and the U.S. role there following the Spanish American War. Has he ever heard of shoe lady Imelda's husband-dictator supported for many years by the U.S. but finally deposed because of his pillage of the Philippines over the many years of his U.S. support? Was this occupation by the U.S. a quagmire? It's a jungle out there!

In Chimpy's paws, it's more like the War on Metaphors.
