Sounds like they have the terrorists on the ropes ... time to press home the advantage

"Surrender, and we'll spare your lives ... fight on, or harm one hostage, and we'll kill you all."

If they let those terrorists go in exchange for the hostages, they'll just take more hostages at a later date. Best to consider the hostages already dead, and just storm the place (or hold out for a while, like they did in Peru, and THEN storm the place).

Midmorning Tuesday, the rebels sent out one hostage, local newspaper editor Jose Mari Bue, to tell the military the rebels "want a safe passage. They want to exit and escape."

Safe passage to where?

Wherever it is, sounds like a place in need of an attitude adjustment.

The Phillipines is quickly moving to the head of the class. The situation there has been escalating pretty rapidly. There is good reason we already have military advisors on the ground there and last week committed 1 billion in military aid.

They're lobbying to be the subject of round two. Hey, there's plenty of daisy cutters for you too, and don't worry about us running out - we'll make more.

Lots of Muslims are filled with hate, it would seem. Bet Allah has quite a surprise in store for those expecting some kind of reward for killing and torturing innocent people.

[alloysteel]

These Islamic terrorists should not be making threats if they don't mean to carry them out. Threats to execute a number of hostages is very close to hollering "Bomb!" in a crowded marketplace. This is not free speech any more, it is a declaration of war, and it should be rewarded with the fruits of violence.

Be afraid, you fundamentalist Muslims. Be very afraid. For you have set the conditions of the retribution that shall be visited upon you. Justice untempered with any trace of mercy. The Fist of Allah shall smite you for your apostasy and for bearing false witness in the name of your religion. Infinite Justice shall prevail.

Didn't Drudge say the Philippines were next?

This just can't be true. No way. Impossible. Everyone knows that all moslems are kind, good, generous, peaceful, wonderful, exemplary, loyal, delightful paragons of virtue. (/bitter sarcasm)

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Four rebel gunmen in camouflage behind the two men taunted the soldiers, motioning for them to try to shoot.

Real men these Islamists are. Hiding behind human shields. This seems to be a common strain in fundamentalist Islam -- and they run like dogs when faced with force.

You want the truth about Islamic men? They're a bunch of p*ssies.

Don't you just Love this "Peaceful Religion" of Islam ?

We shall return.

Islam is a peaceful and loving religion.

I hear a giant sucking sound.

this story can't be true ... it's a religion of peace ... Oprah said so ... [/sarcasm]

[Hail Caesar]

History repeats itself! - Once again, it's time for the Filipinos and their American friends to rid the Philippines of all the Moro pirates (Muslim terrorists) and their sympathizers.

Islamic rebels seize dozens of hostages in southern Philippines - Executions threatened

Message to Philippines president: Order your Military to

SHOOT THE HOSTAGES!

And then kill every last bloody islamist terrorist. It's gone on long enough! Time's up.

[American in Israel]

This world is degenerating into a "target rich" environment.
