You Would Have Thought it Was a French Colony

The Philippines have withdrawn their forces from Iraq according to CNN.  The withdrawal follows demands by Islamic terrorists threatening to behead a Philippine guestworker.  Base10 is sympathetic toward the hostage but this situation is outrageous.  The Philippines can now never be trusted to live up to its national commitments especially when it is itself engaged in fighting an militant islamic insurgency.  This is simply an invitation to take Filipinos hostage worldwide.
