Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has told American special forces to leave Mindanao, blaming their presence in the southern region for the continuing conflict, while signalling his desire to "reorient" the country's foreign policy vis-a-vis the United States.

Just days after declaring that the Philippines "will pursue an independent foreign policy", Duterte said on Monday in a rambling speech from the presidential palace.

Duterte expresses support to Muslim community on eve of Eid’l Adha
Published September 11, 2016 6:48pm
President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday expressed support to the Muslim community as they commemorate the Eid’l Adha, one of the greatest feasts under Islam.

“I join you in commemorating the ultimate obedience and trust of Ibrahim when he submits to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, according to the will of Allah. This occasion truly invigorates our common aspirations and rekindles the true significance of our faith,” he said in a statement.

“...Ibrahim when he submits to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, according to the will of Allah...”

That is all you need to know to understand that Islam is a lie based upon a lie.

Anyway, the Philippine nation is in for a wild ride. If the ChiComs get their way, Filipinos will wish they had been speaking Japanese.

When he says he is “Not a fan of Americans” he is talking about the Obama regime and the liberal scum that voted for him.

In that prism, I totally agree with him.

Fine ... let’s pack up and leave. Once China starts flexing its muscles, he’ll be begging us to return.

Actually, NO, he is afraid because Americans are training their soldiers to fight ISIS. Would not want to offend Muslims now would we.

Is there one nation that is on record asking for an American base? No. This is why Trump doesn’t want us forcing ourselves all over the world.
