The Washington Post reported on Thursday that negotiations that would lead to a return of U.S. bases to the Philippines were in the early stages. Officials from both governments were quoted as saying they were favorably inclined toward a deal.
It seems to me that we are more likely to be trying to get US forces to rotate into the Philippines to keep the bases warm rather than return to a permanent US presence there. Which may be good enough.
As long as I seem to be getting what I ask for, hey Summer Glau? Call me.
Hey, I'd settle for less than permanent basing, too.
