Please Don't DICK Around with the $*%>*#&)@ ABU SAYYAF!!!

Seriously,

Senator Gordon?!?!

AMNESTY for the ABU SAYYAF!??!?!

I appreciate the relief you must feel

now that your fellow Red Cross volunteer

has been freed after six months in the jungles,

but I also hope that this isn't a kneejerk

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

reaction to the happy resolution

of Eugenio Vagni's abduction.

Does the Abu Sayyaf have any sort of

ideological, political, philosophical,

or even a religious agenda?

Are they New Age Freedom Fighters of some sort?

Are they modern-day Robin Hoods?

OF COURSE NOT.

The Abu Sayyaf targets

Civilians as well as Politicians,

Red Cross Volunteers and the Media,

the Religious as well as the Military.

No distinctions at all made

between the innocent and those that

they perceive to be their "enemies".

They are nothing but

greedy extortionists and power-tripping rapists.

They are nothing but criminals of the worst kind,

responsible for countless abuses and acts of violence,

beheadings, killings, and kidnappings.

Ces Drilon, just a year ago.

And I hope the good Senator

remembers the tragedy of the Burnhams.

ERAP,

for all his faults as President,

was absolutely right when he waged

TOTAL WAR

against these bandits.

And Now,

I'm loving the fact that

a promising young politician

is carrying on with a policy of

EXTREME PREJUDICE

against these terrorists.

GIBO,

whose wife, Rep. Nikki Teodoro,

retracted her signature from HR 1109,

is fast proving himself to be an astute,

independent, and intelligent Secretary of Defense.

We need someone like him in a Higher Office.

Soon.
