As Pres. Arroyo tries to curb terrorism in Mindanao...soldiers are dying in vain. I say in vain because its obvious that the govt isnt making any headway in its offensive against the Moro extremists. The fact that 15 other soldiers were killed by the Abu Sayyaf shows that the govt is fighting a losing battle, while in fact the govt should be the one pounding hard on these extremists...Imagine...20 soldiers were killed while only 4 Abu sayyef casualties were recovered...When will the govt forces finally win a battle against the enemies of the state? I know that not only me but a lot of Filipinos are disappointed by the developments that are happening in Mindanao...especially those families who have lost loved ones in the fighting.
If this trend continues then the AFP might run out of soldiers ( of course an exaggeration, but who knows) this Basilan thing has truly become a crisis for the Arroyo administration because it has not only exposed the faults and errors in the military but it has also sprked controversies about the competency of Ms. Arroyo's generals and the alleged connivance between politicians and the Muslim extremists. Also I have observed that Pres. Arroyo is very indecisive in here deciosions in Mindanao...If she wants to launch an all-out war then she should...if she wants diplomacy then she should negotiate. Arroyo must not send soldiers to their deaths only to later on take back her decision...
