US offers Ms. Arroyo spy satellites, but it is not sure yet whether she will get (from US) her requested second-hand C-130 cargo aircraft and protective vests for troopers to reduce casualties while conducting their anti-terror war. Why is US pushing for these spy satellites instead of giving Ms. Arroyo her requested second-hand planes and vests? Beats me. This may further complicate the situation in Mindanao.
