The government of the Philippines just signed a peace pact with the Muslim rebels in the south.
How long that will last is anybody’s guess.
They have done that before.
The Islamics wanted more land and power I guess.
They will want more next time too.
The Philippines have been under siege by the muslims for a long time. No peace treaty ever holds with muslims, they just lie and cheat to stall for time to build up strength. That is why Israel didn’t do so well in 2006 with the Lebanese insanity. They fought like we’re fighting in Afghanistan. God forbid “disproportionate force.” Tie both hands behind your back and put a blindfold on - I say, NO MORE CEASE FIRES - grind the enemy into the ground until they don’t move. There are no civilians any more - anywhere — for that matter. We’re all fair game now, so should act accordingly.
