BabyD, why don't you just post it on a worldwide forum so everyone can see and get scared by it?

If you knew how alerts worked in the US you would know that all US citizens see this anyway on our State Department websites. I posted it here in this forum for us to laugh at and ridicule. Joe Tourist knows that the State Department is blowing smoke up their dress with these warnings.

I think it has to do with Cory's Senate kicking out the bases in ...91? The US government is good at holding grudges. Cuba....Viet Nam....

That's funny....I don't remember it going down like that....I do remember the Philippine Congress wanting to jack up the lease rates for Subic and Clark by some crazy amount. When the volcano blew it allowed the US Air Force to exit gracefully and Subic followed when the leases expired. As for getting kicked out...well, I wouldn't call it that. Holding grudges...oh yeah.....it seems to be tied to this administration's strategy on foreign policy. Oh, the State Department pulled the warning for some reason.....weird.

they were kicked out. I remember as it led up to the official vote and Cory was "keeping her options open" right up to the end.

In 1990, then-President Corazon Aquino rejected a United States plan for a 10-year extension of the bases' lease, which expired in 1991. Instead, she required all forces to leave within three years. In a Los Angeles Times article, President Aquino was quoted as saying, "[The bases] are not the heart of our economy, nor the soul of our political well-being. Certainly, they do not define our society... They are important, but they are not everything." In the same article, base opponent Sen. Wigberto E. Tanada complained, "They are the worst part of our national problems and not the solution." ("Aquino Calls for Orderly Pullout of U.S. Forces," Los Angeles Times, Bob Drogin, September
