well if certain people want goodwill then you dont go about it  doing
stuff like closing a hospital found in other nations as if its your

In many cases, military and police are better off not saying anything
and just taking the jabs from the press and people like you who only see
the surface of things.  That's usually true when something bigger and of
more importance is going on or about to go on.  In other cases, military
victories are published (by the military) as loses, also for the same
reason.  Your deekshonari word for today is "DISINFORMATION."


No disinformation from me!


i repeat you dont have to apologize if it didnt happen.

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines -- US soldiers in Sulu have APOLOGIZED
for ordering health officials to shut down the government-run
hospital
in Panamao town during night time, Sulu Governor Abdusakur Tan said
Monday.

its not disinformation[ filipino citizens and filipino doctors
working in that said hospital reported this] as is their job as a
filipino citizen and as a doctor . its crappy public relations on
the us military side. that us officer involved. should be banished
to alaska or sent to pasture for giving the us a black eye. he has no
common sense. you dont do that willynilly like you own the
philippines .


Yes true Meren and Bongga! However the Americans have apologized,
restored the normal circumstances and admitted errors of judgment.
"Hopefully" lessons have been learned.

My interpretation of the issue is that The Yanks had some concerns and
took actions to address these concerns, later with the benefit of
hindsight these measures proved inappropriate. Happens to us all
occasionally.

Americans, as do Filipinos make mistakes. Under these circumstances we
can do two things. Continue to ramble on after the error is admitted
and rectified or learn from this error and strive to improve the
situation.
