8 new US military bases in the Philippines?


via Press TV
American forces will gain access to at least eight military bases in the Philippines following a new bilateral agreement, reports say.
The eight bases would give the US military the most access since it evacuated forces from its Philippine bases in 1990s.
Philippine Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gregorio Catapang told Manila’s ABS-CBN News on Monday that the bases, which will not necessarily be limited to eight, were specified during an October meeting with the commander of the US Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear.

I'm a bit leery of 8 bases in the Philippines.  First it doesn't answer the question of our forces being out of reach of Chinese attack.  But the bigger issue is why so many?  I suspect we're about to get neck deep in the counter insurgency fight that the Filipino's are involved in.

You think those boy loving bastards in the Middle East are tough?  Wait till you get a load of these sons of bitches! 

Quite honestly I don't think US infantry...Army and Marine Corps...is ready for the jungle fight I believe they're getting lined up for.  If I'm right, this will be nasty.
