Ronquillo<BR/>November is past tense<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>The message delivered to Marcos to “cut and cut clean” was the second to the last intervention from the United States government that changed the course of the nation’s history profoundly. This was in 1986 yet, before the family’s flight to Hawaii. The late US President Ronald Reagan and the Republican leadership just loved Marcos and wanted him to stay in power, perhaps forever. He was, in their eyes, a SOB, “ but our SOB.” These were the Cold War years and Marcos’ anticommunist rhetoric was as tough, strident and unbending as Reagan’s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1133214942297237322005-11-29T05:55:00.000+08:002005-11-29T05:55:00.000+08:00RizalistI love having you as my daily doseThanks f...Rizalist<BR/><BR/>I love having you as my daily dose<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the everyday knowledge and cloud eraser enlightening<BR/>words of wisdom<BR/><BR/>Anout wolfowitz<BR/>Due to my mixup of info having read to many stuff<BR/><BR/>I mixed up Cut it and cut it clean and the proponent of alcogas<BR/>to Marcos<BR/>that is why I displayed another round of ignorance in MLQ's blog<BR/><BR/>About US spanish war<BR/><BR/>I hope got my sources right when I said it started in Cuba and Americans came here when they got control of Latin America....<BR/><BR/>and that REgionalist/nationalist argument in MLQs brown brther<BR/>actually confused me more<BR/><BR/>can you email me a more clear picture including points above<BR/><BR/>many thanks<BR/><BR/>KarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1132998887601562752005-11-26T17:54:00.000+08:002005-11-26T17:54:00.000+08:00As a sad fact our military is wanting of equipment...As a sad fact our military is wanting of equipment<BR/>I have been an observer in the modernization of our military (observer as in I have been reading open exposed secrets ...use your imagination)<BR/><BR/>The modernization law is just a law till the fiscal crisis and last priority in national budget....<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think this just a leakage in the whitehouse,Langley or Pentagon<BR/><BR/>as we know we occupy the whitehouse from the kitchen to the chief of staff's officeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1132897703948216042005-11-25T13:48:00.000+08:002005-11-25T13:48:00.000+08:00Welcome everyone.

Philippine Commentary is like a living organism, like a plant or a tree, and often needs trimming and pollinating.

Do you know Emraida Kiram? How about Dar Muceno? Josefina Gardinier? Have you checked out the following sites: http://www.newbayanihan.org/ and http://www.ustomas.com/ ?<BR/><BR/>When my wife first arrived one of the Filipino families we knew from the UAE was temporarily settled in Pewaukee so we met some people there.

Good points you raise about Wolfowitz, but I am feeling good making contact with Cheddarland. Lived there for a while "Wauwatosa" and know lots of people from General Electric MedSys. Helped to build the first CAT Scanners and giant xray tubes, went ice sailing on Peewaukee lake on a day just like you describe..thank god for the stone cold water and crisp clean air of Wisconsin!Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1132815422104156722005-11-24T14:57:00.000+08:002005-11-24T14:57:00.000+08:00Hi XP, Yes they need better PR, but don't forget t...Hi XP, Yes they need better PR, but don't forget the Media there is just like the Media here, loyalties are divided, but they do tend to be "anti-"Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1132811839065890122005-11-24T13:57:00.000+08:002005-11-24T13:57:00.000+08:00Rizalist a very intriguing blog.I am glad you ment...Rizalist a very intriguing blog.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you mentioned Mr. Wolfowitz. <BR/><BR/>For years the left has been whining how the source of evil in the world is the US supporting tryants in an alliance against the USSR. No one was too evil (the left would complain) as long as they were against the USSR. Now, this thinking is changing and so too is the left on that thought. Their argument was taking hold and they dash it for another shiny pebble.<BR/><BR/>The problem is there are quite a few bad men in the world and the left points to all those other unmolested and bad men to try to claim some sort of hypocracy or ulterior motives. Prudence. In fact we just got our bases booted from one of the Stans for not being silent about massacres of protestors in that nation.<BR/><BR/>Why no neo-Edsa? I think exhaustion is as good an explanation as any. We came out once, twice, and now you want us to come again? What's next? We'll tell you what, have your political squabble and we will just stay at home doing our own thing. Especially when one considers if things get out of hand (a large political gathering with police determined to keep the order, a guard determined to keep protesters at a distance, and agitators equally determined to overcome the police and guard) then it can be very messy. No one really wants to be a part of a mess like that especially when the mess is guts and blood on the walk.<BR/><BR/>Up in Cheddarland we have cold, this morning was rain and snow and a long commute (made longer by the weather). Tomorrow is no snow but very cold and wind. With the holiday I get to stay home to cook and BLOG!Marcus Aureliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731740191789466205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1132807699316844442005-11-24T12:48:00.000+08:002005-11-24T12:48:00.000+08:00I remember an article (by Wil Wylton) that gives a...I remember an article (by Wil Wylton) that gives a very different picture indeed of the so-called neocons, esp.
