"...The use of smart bombs, confirmed to The Associated Press by four senior Philippine security officials, marks a new chapter in the long-running battle against an al-Qaida-linked movement in the southern Philippines..."

If true, I don't see anything wrong with it.

If true, more power to them in smoking them out.
In my three years here, I have yet to see a Muzie, but I
am well aware of the problems that they cause in eastern Mindanao, 300 km from me.

I can’t see the downside to this.

Al Jazeerah (whose english website is full of lefties) had a story that it was a “drone” attack. If so, it would have been illegal. Americans can use drones to spy and give the information to the Philippine military, but they are not allowed to join in combat.

So now we find it is a “smart bomb” dropped by our own Air Force. Good.

And the headline on the Manila Bulletin is that the President is requesting more American military help (partly as a way to scare China which is trying to steal the Spratlys from the Philippines and VietNam).
