2,000 Filipinos Entered Iraq From Kuwait

On account of relaxed Kuwaiti border restrictions, an estimated 2,000 overseas Filipino workers slipped into Iraq from Kuwait on Saturday. The total number of Filipino workers in Iraq is now estimated to be at least 4,000 in various civilian industries.

It's somewhat perplexing that Filipino workers would continue to flock to Iraq. Just recently, the government removed all forces from Iraq after a threat to behead one Filipino. It appears that the overseas Filipino workers feel relatively safe going to Iraq while their leaders in the Philippines are spineless.

Of course, I'm looking at the situation from a distance, but it still galls me that American military advisors (last I checked, at least 600) are in the Philippines helping them with their terrorist problem while, at the same time, the Filipino military is noticeably not in Iraq.
