MERGED: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

That's my point. Bush failed during a crisis and somebody else capitalized on the opportunity. Bush only revived his domestic popularity by launching operation shock & awe.... a massive firework display in the wrong country to convince the voters that he was winning the war on terror.

Wrong ... dont get complicated and technical with me . I am merely just talking about who is running the show during and after the event which we can compare in the threads about during and after the hostage takings .

OT : By the way ... the war on terror already happened and won 10 years prior to the 9/11 .

My personal feeling is that Pnoy kept out of things because he couldn't handle it. Relying on advisers is okay for long-term policy decisions, but for crisis management forget it. What is actually required in such instances is strong and decisive leadership.

Unsay gamit lage sa mga tao na gibutang nimo like committees ? Let me ask you though ... who do you think is the better leader who can handle it ?

Arroyo gov’t also to blame for hostage-taking crisis—Palace

MANILA, Philippines – Malacañang indicated on Thursday that the administration of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was also to blame for the bloody end of Monday’s hostage-taking drama at Rizal Park in Manila.

"I would like to point out that the administration of Benigno Aquino III is just 55 days old while Arroyo's administration lasted for nine years. We just inherited the state of the Philippine National Police,'' Secretary Herminio Coloma of the Palace communications and operations office told the ABS-CBN morning news program "Umagang Kay Ganda.''

"The previous administration should also answer for what they did [for the police]. Did they provide enough funds for the modernization of the PNP or did it waste funds for cases like the euro-generals and other corruption cases?'' Coloma also said.

He said there was a need to uncover the truth on this thing "as this will serve as guide for us to enhance the capability of our police forces.''

Coloma made the statements after he pointed out that one of the significant findings in the aftermath of the bus siege drama was the lack of capability and lack of preparations of the SWAT and Special Action Forces which he also said was also a result of the "limitation of the situation.''

It was the first time that the Palace sought to blame the previous administration for the bloody end of the 11-hour standoff that claimed the lives of eight Hong Kong tourists and the hostage-taker, dismissed Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza.

kung si GMA pa ron, ulan gyud ug criticisms. but she fair well during her time.

Minority solons praise GMA on hostage crisis handling - Yahoo! Philippines News

Quezon Province Rep. Danilo Suarez cited the better batting average of Arroyo and her team, noting several hostage and abduction cases happened during the last 9 years where there were minimal, if not no fatalities at all.

LOL
minority solons means GMA's allies. alangan man ug atakehon si gloria? its not news, really.
si gloria diay maoy nakig negotiate sa hostage takers? it was the ground commander but of course apil sa credit si gloria.

"Don't get complicated & technical"..... Why not?

"OT : By the way ... the war on terror already happened and won 10 years prior to the 9/11 ." Wrong.... you are thinking of the original Gulf War.
