We want to set this up properly because we are dealing with a military hierarchy and I might set it up wrongly.
We are not aware of the hearing, and neither did any of the officials ask for the President's consent to attend. They must be busy with official work.
But as to how many they are, we don?t really know and they are indeed a security concern.
We may have to ask Congress to pass a joint resolution to suspend the VAT on oil so that our local pump prices would not be affected so much by the surge in world oil prices.
I think the mayor meant well and wanted to do a symbolic gesture in bringing down a physical structure. But in so doing, he may have destroyed evidence that may be crucial in the ongoing investigation of the police.
I think we really need a joint resolution from Congress to effect the tax exemption on oil.
We have to look at all the options and then explain to the public why we are doing this and why we are not doing this.
The president will sign a proclamation declaring a state of emergency.
This is just a chemical reaction, not an improvised explosive device.
Not to scare the people, but it is true that there is an assassination plot against the president.
I'm not saying that this will be the alternative, or the main response to the oil price increase, but we need to study all the options.
