lol... "my way" hasn't been used, much less for the last 15 years... in case you haven't noticed, there is no difference between conservatives and liberals on the battlefield...

BTW, what exactly has been Canada's contribution to any war effort... ever?

i think you(canucks) tried to rescue some American hostages once, but failed miserably - then it took a republican to get the job done right...

maybe one day Canada can survive without the US, but probably not anytime soon... not with the socialist regime installed there now...

but don't worry, it seems y'all will have a bunch of new liberal American blood up there when trump wins the presidency...

the UN is a part of the problem!

I,m sorry to say you will not bring these people to justice, they have no respect for their own women and children, so forget it, all you can do is send sas and other special forces in to wipe them off the face of this earth.The dead do not give a dam about justice.

Or, we'll slap you up side the face with a Mackerel

Abu Sayyaf's Criminal Jihad in the Philippines

by Austin Bay
April 27, 2016

On April 25, Abu Sayyaf Group Islamist terrorists tossed a Canadian tourist's severed head onto the steps of building on the southern Filipino island of Jolo. Last September, ASG seized the man, John Ridsdel, while he vacationed in the Philippines. ASG demanded a large ransom for his life. Canada refused to pay it. So the terrorists slaughtered him.

An act of terror, crime or both?

As I see it, Ridsdel's hideous murder serves as another reminder that violent Islamist terrorists wage global war. Like Nigeria, where Boko Haram thugs enslave schoolgirls, Jolo and the Filipino islands ASG threatens are comparatively obscure locales. Unlike Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Mumbai, New York and Washington, they rarely draw elite media attention. But face this bitter fact: Islamist terrorists commit murder and apocalyptic atrocities in headline somewheres and neglected nowheres.

I call ASG a violent Islamist terror group for several reasons. ASG self-identifies as one. It has cooperated with Jemaah Islamiyah, the al-Qaida affiliate that conducted the October 2002 attacks on the Indonesian island of Bali. In 2015, ASG's senior commander, Isnilon Hapilon, pledged loyalty to ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Abu Sayyaf translates as "bearer of the sword." For jihadis, the name is Islamic propaganda whose violent poetry erases political borders. ISIS' now-deceased "minister of oil" used it as a nom de guerre.

ASG also conducts combat operations, so it takes combat forces to defeat it. Cops alone can't handle it. In early April, ASG terrorists killed 18 Filipino soldiers in a jungle firefight on Basilan Island. The soldiers were threatening a camp thought to be Hapilon's headquarters.

ASG's biggest terror attack, the February 2004 bombing of a ferry in Manila Bay, had the iconic resonance terrorists' prize. 116 of the 900 passengers died when the bomb exploded as the ship passed Corregidor Island. In May 1942, Corregidor was the last U.S. garrison in the northern Philippines to surrender to the Japanese.

ASG originated as a religious terror group that left a nationalist insurgency. In 1991 money provided by al-Qaida helped fund ASG's split from the autonomy-seeking Moro National Liberation Front. Filipino Muslims are Moros (from the Spanish association of Muslims with Moors). Ninety percent of Filipinos profess Christianity. Six percent are Muslim. Most Moros live in the south (Mindanao and Sulu archipelago) or on the island of Palawan. For five decades, in various guises, the MNLF and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front have fought a low-level war with Manila that has cost an estimated 120,000 lives.

ASG has three goals, each one forwarding violent Islamist aims: sow chaos and fear that frustrates attempts to end the Moro War; establish a Moro Muslim ISIS province in the southern Philippines; with other violent Islamists conquer the planet and establish a global caliphate.

However, the Filipino government and the U.S. Department of Defense emphatically classify ASG as a criminal organization.

The Filipino government routinely calls ASG a vicious gang, even as its forces conduct counter-terror operations. A Pentagon spokesman recently condemned it a "barbaric extortionist group."

Pulled punches? Yes, but also political warfare. Manila wants to encourage other Moros to oppose ASG and deny it any legitimacy as a Filipino political force.

The MNLF had nationalist political goals. The MILF asserted an Islamic identity, but is now willing to accept a negotiated political settlement. Some MILF leaders have concluded an independent Moro state would be unstable. Christian enclaves would reject sharia.

ASG scorns both and portrays the "old line" Moro fronts as sell-outs.

In return, former MNLF members are publicly damning ASG as criminal. The peace settlement between Manila and the MILF remains shaky, but MILF leaders know ASG is problem.

Muslims and Christians on several islands, particularly Mindanao, are tired of bloodshed. They see tourism as a major economic contributor.

ASG terrorists, however, kill tourists. Hence Manila's conclusion that verbally criminalizing Abu Sayyaf terrorists is a tool for defeating them.

Sorry for your loss Canada. Not all Americans are like this. We know that Canada has been involved in every war since WW1 to the Wars in the Middle east. My father, a scout in Vietnam knew Canadian snipers. So all respect to you.

Well then it might be time to have new people with new ideas.

Thank you, all
* Canada's CSOR's legal mandate is clear. If requested they will assist. Legal Justice by example will prevail not wanton radicalism by any group.

yes, your right... i'm not a whining socialist liberal that thinks he needs to apologize to everyone for everything...

what exactly did john lose that your so sorry for?

everyone knows Canada has been in wars, i was messing with john, like i've been doing since way before you showed up on here...

if you think you have something you wanna say to me, then say it to me, no need for the little mousey innuendos and snide remarks...
