The WoT in the PI continues.

War on terror ping.

Thanks for the thread. As always, it's the Muslims whining about their "rights", while all the terrorism going on is caused by Muslims. Training and supplying Phillipinos to fight their own Muslim terrorists is a wise idea.

"But it's not necessarily that simple. Separatism is not always terrorism. The governments of the region want to equate separatism with terrorism, but the U.S. should resist that."

Typical liberal Brookings Institute moral equivalence. How about this smartass? They murder, kidnap, blow up, torture and/ or engage in violent actions designed to scare the population for their political goals makes them terrorists. That so tough? These guys seem to do plenty of that. Plus they've got connections to Al Quada. Good enough for me. Have the Phillis wipe'em off the face of the earth.

The Abu Sayyaf is a fairly recent group.
The MILF has been around for a very long time.
They are both terrorist groups but one is a gang of thugs, the other is a well grounded, fairly well disciplined, large group.

It's my hope that by the time I retire to the PI things will be under control.
