I just watched the live telecast of the joint news conference by President GWB of the US of A and President Arroyo of the Philipinnes. It was just a sentence and I am quoting from memory. If I have misquoted, pleased do bring it to my notice. This is what I heard President GWB say.
nb: all emphases are mine
...we will assist the Philipinnes Government in the their war against terror, when asked
Thank you Mr. President. I stand vindicated.
