"During interrogation, (terrorist) Ramos "admitted his participation in the procurement of boxes of explosives sometime during the recent Ramadan (Nov. 15 -Dec. 17) to be transported to Singapore," the statement said."

Anybody remember all that GUANO we heard from assorted liberals, Islamic 'cultural' specialists, and other handwringers including State Department pansies, that we had better not roll forward with military action during so-called "Ramadan"? See, right here you have the enemy engaged in positioning their forces at the same time bleeding hearts in our own countries would handcuff our boys (and girls) in the field. Disgusting.

Yeah, it was GUANO all right. Most sensible people realized it then.

I read where the US is winding up "training exercises" in Southern Phillipines. Interesting use of terms, presumably coined for domestic consumption as the locals don't much care for Uncle Sam engaging in military manuevers.

The only training I read about was where they would look into the the night vision, spot a hostile and train their sights on his shoulderblades. Live fire training on living subjects. Hey but it's training ok, so lay off. L-O-L.

I remember John McLame saying it would be a big mistake to continue the war in Afganistan through Ramadan.
