I appreciate Michelle's outrage and even agree with her to some extent. However, the Phillipines have their own Muslim terrorists that have been operating in the southern islands for many years and, I'm sure that is part of the Phillipines' President's concern. Besides, the Filipino army is not one of the best trained or equipped militaries out there, although every soldier is a big help.
Michelle's point...you either "with us" or "against us"...looks as tho the Phillipines are "Kerry like"...trying to mollify both sides...can't be done...real leaders DO NOT COMPROMISE their beliefs...
