#1 I find it interesting/ridiculous that Kabalu is blaming the MNLF peace agreement for the JI being there. The MILF is working peace accords with the GRP. This is just more finger pointing and double talk from Kabalu. For the last four years, at least, the MILF, MNLF, and ASG have worked together with the JI in running training camps in Mindanao. The camps are in declared MNLF areas so the military can not go in there. They are protecting the key leaders in those areas and providing logistical support from there as well.

The GRP hold some responsibility here for this getting out of control. They have a very passive approach to the issue of the Muzzies. As long as it stays out of Manila, most in power donât care what happens âDown thereâ and prefer to stick their heads in the sand and hide from the issues, or take payoffs allowing this to fester. The opinion is that as long as there is a problem down there the US and Ozzies will continue to pour in money to help fight them. Their fear is as soon as or if they win all the money will dry up. Thus no incentive, at least in their minds, to allow the fighting to end. As long as all this stayed in the PI we should really have no desire to get involved, unfortunately the training is being exported to other countries. The Ozzies are now having to deal with what is being produced from these camps. It wonât be long before we end up tracing the next large AQ attack back through these camps.

#2 I think we've been in agreement here on Rantburg for several years now that Kabalu's propensity for elaborate and often implausible deception with a straight face is rivaled only by that of the former Iraqi information minister.

#3 Maybe Dean, Kabalu AKA "Lipless eddie", and Bagdad Bob were triplets seperated at birth.
