"... add the Philippines to the Axis of Weasels"

Michelle Malkin, tartly reacting to this Reuters piece:

Looks like it's time to add the Philippines to the Axis of Weasels. This is a grave embarrassment to a country that has long prided itself on its fighting spirit and its people's willingness to die for the cause of freedom. I know my grandfather, who fought alongside U.S. troops and survived the Bataan Death March during World War II, would be cursing mightily had he lived to see this day.

Indeed. And more lives will be lost due to this Spain-like capitulation to thugs and murderers. Captain Ed puts it best:

And so the Filipinos have guaranteed that the Islamofascists will continue its kidnap-and-behead strategy, undermining the efforts not only of the US but also those of the nascent Iraqi government. While their new security forces train to find and eliminate these lunatics, the Filipino government accedes to their "requests" as if they have diplomatic standing. It's a dispiriting display of political cowardice on behalf of the Arroyo administration, who would have been much better served by standing fast.

Cowardice is an understatement. Read Philippine deputy foreign minister Rafael Seguis' words he actually read on al Jazeera television:

"In response to your request, the Philippines ... will withdraw its humanitarian forces as soon as possible."

"I hope the statement that I read will touch the heart of this group, we know that Islam is the religion of peace and mercy."

We also now know more about you Mr. Sequis than we care to know.

You're a disgrace sir and your words will guarantee more innocent deaths.

Sleep well appeaser.
