Misleading Headline of the Week

Today's headline from the AP:

U.S. Ends Philippines Anti-Terror Force

But the 15th paragraph of this very story reads:

The U.S. and the Philippines, which are defense treaty allies, signed a 10-year pact in April that will allow possibly thousands of American forces temporary access to selected Filipino military camps and enable them to preposition fighter jets and ships.

So the U.S. is ending a task force in the Philippines while simultaneously planning a decade long stay.  Washington's primary goal appears to be surrounding China with weapons of mass destruction.

Leave it to the outcast media to distort news to this extreme.

 

What Business does Washington have in the Philippines?

The U.S. is attempting to move thousands of heavily armed soldiers into the Philippines for the first time in over two decades.  The U.S. government people are theorizing that the Chinese government people are conspiring to take over the Philippines, or South Korea or D.C. or something.

In response to this illegal action attempted by the U.S. The Guardian reports that two former senators and ten taxpayers are suing the Philippine government people for violating their constitution.

Foreign military troops are banned from the Philippines unless a treaty is approved by 2/3 of the senate and ratified by the foreign state (in this case the U.S.).

So what is the real reason for the expanding U.S. military presence in the South China Sea?
