Manila warns 'occupying' rebels (graphic image warning)
« on: August 07, 2008, 04:36:10 PM »
The Philippine government has given Muslim rebels 24 hours to vacate towns they are accused of occupying in the country's volatile south.

"Otherwise they shall be forcibly separated from the area," Interior Minister Ronaldo Puno told reporters.

He said about 800 rebels from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) had seized several villages.

Now Christian leaders in the southern province of North Cotabato have accused the rebels of stealing cattle and burning homes.

"We cannot allow these things to happen," Mr Puno said, saying he was giving the rebels "24 hours to vacate".

But a rebel spokesman, Eid Kabalu, reportedly denied the rebels were occupying land when he spoke to Radio DZBB.

FORCE, brut FORCE, is the only thing Muslims understand. Anything short of that is a sign of weakness and they keep coming at you.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Okay... apparently I'm the only one snickering at the acronym of the group,  :lmao:

No I just read it and started giggling myself. :rotf:  Then I reread it and read... Moron Islamic Liberation Front.
