5000 MNLF Troops to “Rescue” their Muslim Brothers in Sabah.

According to Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Nur Misuari, more than 5000 MNLF fighters are being trained to mount a rescue mission to help their relatives still fighting in Sabah, Malaysia. He also added that they will take back Sabah since it rightfully belongs to the Tausog tribe.

Nur Misuari may be dreaming, lying, bluffing or jerking us around to get more limelight but his statement should not be taken lightly. The MNLF have been at war with the Philippine Government for so many decades and it was only during the term of Pres. Fidel V. Ramos that a temporary peace was achieved.  This was realized when Nur Misuari was appointed as the Governor of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).     

But Nur Misuari and the MNLF are no longer the “famous group” in Mindanao these past few weeks. It’s the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a rival group that is being favored and groomed by the Aquino Administration to promote peace and prosperity in Mindanao. In short, MILF is IN and MNLF is OUT of the picture as far as Pres. Noynoy Aquino is concerned.

Maybe that is why former ARMM Governor Nur Misuari is issuing statements about going to reinforce their beleaguered Tausog relatives in Sabah and taking back Northern Borneo from the Malaysians; to gain publicity and to show the present administration that the MNLF and Nur Misuari are still a force to be reckoned with in Mindanao.

Well, if Nur Misuari is serious about invading and taking back Sabah from the Malaysians then I suggest that he train his troops very well and he should buy more weapons that could blast those Malaysian tanks, helicopters and jet fighters to Kingdom come. I’m sure Misuari has a couple of millions stashed somewhere after being ARMM Governor for so many years. The MNLF cannot just invade Sabah armed with M16 and M14 rifles and some rocket propelled grenades (RPG7s) because it will end up again in a massacre.

Nur Misuari is right about one thing; the Tausogs are one of the bravest fighters in the world. They maybe ill equipped but they have brave hearts, it reminds me of the mujahedeen’s of Afghanistan who fought bravely against the Russian forces in the 1980s and the Viet Cong’s of Vietnam in the 1960s-1970s. The Russians used all weapons that they have against the Afghan rebels including nerve gas and other chemical weapons but they still ended up losing the war to a bunch of ill equipped Muslim fighters.

The US also lost the Vietnam War against Viet Cong despite using their huge bombers, nasty napalms (fire bombs) and Agent Orange, a deadly chemical. The Vietnamese forces were mostly made up of poor skinny peasants armed with AK-47s from China and they were dressed up in black pajamas but they kicked the ass of the US soldiers armed with tanks, Huey helicopters, jet planes and bombers.

Oh, don’t forget Lapu-Lapu, the first Filipino hero who killed Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese born Spanish explorer-navigator who tried to invade Mactan. So never take the Tausogs lightly, they can kick the Malaysian ass easily if given the proper weapons…and they will chop the Malaysian heads off as trophies of war!!! Yup, mess with the best (fighters) and like the rest!
