WE know of course that you cannot come out and say it but the facts are indisputable; you were there, part of the operation, but in our view not enough of a part. Next time, let’s have some air support at least to wipe those ragheads off the face of the earth.
Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs was NOT lying when it declared that the US had nothing to do with the Mamasapano mission. The DFA was just expressing its customary IGNORANCE on a subject the DFA cannot know anything about. THE Mamasapano mission or Exodus—the weird label of the successful but bloody mission—was secret. But pressed by Sen. Ralph Recto, SAF commander Napeñas confirmed that the US provided the intelligence packet on the basis of which the mission was planned, launched and conducted. Events were watched in real time via US aircraft, which beamed an aerial view to the Command Center. American operatives were among the spectators at the Command Center. No doubt they were waiting to be given the finger.
SAF troops used maps provided by the US either because local bookstores are still waiting for China to decide which cartographic version to sell or the US maps were current satellite photos.
Napeñas confirmed that the US sent aircraft the day after the carnage to evacuate the wounded not yet executed by or given the coup d’grace by Iqbal’s superiors. “We have a US counterpart at Seaborne working with SAF in terms of training and equipment,” said Napeñas. But American operatives did not, repeat did not play a combat role. What a pity. If they had, the tears would be falling on the other side.
Well, we’re shore glad that’s all cleared up. We were worried the US had withheld help because the US has been the most insistent sponsor of the Bangsamoro deal to carve out of our country a pound of flesh on which radical Islam can feast, a la Merchant of Venice. Would the US turn a blind eye to anything just to carry out this territorial amputation? Clearly the US has limits on how much damage on its only putative Southeast Asian ally is acceptable to please Islam. For the U.S.-brokered Bangsamoro deal is intended to placate Muslims in the Middle East for the loss of Palestine—the historic name since the Roman Empire for that entire area by the way—by showing them that the US has provided a homeland for Muslims on the other side of the world; though why not out of Wisconsin? But the US has made it vaguely clear by its clandestine participation in the Mamasapano thing that the terrorist homeland it envisions at the expense of the Philippines cannot give refuge to those who hurt Westerners in the Bali bombing.
Thanks to Senator Ralph’s rectal probing so to speak, we have taken another step forward, and a giant leap toward the truth about the BBL and the fate that awaits Filipinos be they Christians or freedom-loving Muslims in Mindanao. It will be a caliphate but, finally, a pro-American one even if fatal to Filipinos of either religion, especially women and gays. Well, on that score maybe it isn’t such a bad idea so far as conservatives are concerned. We suggest that gays in the future Bangsamoro wear parachutes as a daily accessory. How odd then that this government should favor the scheme. Given its bent, it is almost suicidal for it, don’t you think?
