My Olympic Response to the MILF attrocities

Whenever there is an atrocity, you attribute it to the lost command, which through CNN, you have now deemed more appropriately to be called Mujahedin. They burned entire villages, massacred women and children, stole cattle, etc..

When your commanders have been identified to be the ones in charge of the atrocities, you simply declare that you have told them to stop attacking but will fight back when attacked. Such double talk, don't you think so? And you warn, that if the government will not stop the military operations, it might lead to an all out war.

Let me remind you, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), that you were close to being wiped out when the government decided to meet with you and leave you in your camps. Take note that your biggest camps were taken so easily, despite your brags that you prepared for those battles for years. You were on the run, like scared goats.

But what did you do? While talking peace, you used the opportunity to re-arm. And when some villages decided that they will oppose the agreement that you forged with the government, when you realized that some of the areas that you claim will campaign against the ratification of that agreement, you raided and burned the villages, like the Mongols of long ago.

Actually, your actuation during the past couple of weeks remind us of what you did, a few centuries ago, when from Mindanao, you raided coastal villages in the Visayas and Luzon, plundered and took christian slaves to be sold in Borneo.

Warning that the government's scrapping of the agreement will lead to war is soooo out of this world. You should have refrained from raiding, looting and killing old men, children and women, in the first place.

In the spirit of the olympics, I am sending you, Comander Bravo and Umbra Kato an Olympic jersey each. It is a uniform of one the best soccer players in the world.
