This is a partial transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," June 8, 2007,...

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: We go live now to the Philippines, where our own FOX News Channel's Colonel Oliver North is covering a major counter terror operation with a joint Philippine strike force and U.S. Special Op advisors on the hunt for the Islamic terror group .

Colonel, what's happening?

OLIVER NORTH, HOST, "WAR STORIES": Sean, today we went with U.S. Special Operations troops and Philippine troops to the scene of two recent battles with and rogue Moro National Liberation Front terrorists.

For years, Islamic radicals have used this dense, triple canopy and rugged terrain of this 635-square-mile island as a safe haven.

We spent the day with men who just weeks ago engaged in bloody combat with more than 300 of these enemy combatants. Groups like Abu Sayyaf claim that their goal is an autonomous Islamic state, but in fact they're thugs and murderous criminals.

Looks like we are wiping out Al Queda in the Philippines as well. I just wish we could do the same here with the embedded Al Queda supporters in the Democratic leadership.

There was also good news this weekend from Indonesia. The Global War Fit Only for Bumper Stickers appears to be working.
