Muslim Rebels Say Hardliners would Gain If Peace Process Stalls

Description

The largest Muslim guerrilla group in the Philippines warned on Tuesday that hardliners would stand to gain if legislators failed to pass a law granting Muslims autonomy as part of a peace deal under threat because of recent fighting. Forty-four police commandos, 17 rebels and four civilians were killed in a Jan. 25 clash in the south of the largely Christian country that has cast doubt over talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front after lawmakers suspended work on a law creating an autonomous Muslim area. The chief MILF negotiator told reporters."People will think that we failed them, the radicals can gain legitimacy on their political line. We don’t want it to happen."

But on Sunday, America's most senior general publicly pushed back at O'Brien's remarks, calling them 'speculation.' Robert O'Brien, or anyone else, can speculate as they see fit, I am not going to engage in speculation, I'm going to engage in the rigorous analysis of the situation based on the conditions and the plans that I'm aware of in my conversations with the President.
