Trying to save face, the military leaders — apparently with the nod of the yellow-bellied Noynoy, now threaten the Moro secessionist group with demanding the surrender of those who had killed the 19 Special Forces troops to the government or else, the military will be hunting these Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels.

Now that’s really a laughable threat, considering the fact that the jailed MILF member who bolted and who was responsible for the beheading of some 14 Marines in the same spot some five years ago, couldn’t even be captured by the troops a few days ago, with 19 troops killed, and some beheaded by the MILF.
