Air Force pounds MILF lairs with rockets
MANILA, Philippines – Air Force attack planes pounded yesterday the position of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels in Guindulungan, Maguindanao, as fighting between government troops and guerrillas entered its fourth day, a military spokesman reported.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Ponce, spokesman for the Army’s 6th Infantry Division, said SF 21 Marchetti planes conducted two bombing runs between 11 a.m. and 12 noon.
He said that scores of MILF rebels are believed dead because of the accuracy of the rockets fired from the Air Force planes.
Ponce said that while military aircraft staged attacks, ground forces continue to move deeper into the hideout of the MILF guerrillas after a rebel camp was overrun the other day.
About Curzon
Lord George Nathaniel Curzon (1859 - 1925) entered the British House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1886, where he served as undersecretary of India and Foreign Affairs. He was appointed Viceroy of India at the turn of the 20th century where he delineated the North West Frontier Province,
ordered a military expedition to Tibet, and unsuccessfully tried to partition the province of Bengal during his six-year tenure. Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was
the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include
Russia in Central Asia (1889) and
Persia and the Persian Question (1892).
In real life, "Curzon" is a US citizen from the East Coast who has been a financial analyst, freelance translator, and university professor; he is currently on assignment in Tokyo.
Wow. This is too good to be true.
Should have hit the cougars instead.
They must have a NY Post copy editor working on this site on the side. That headline makes me ROFL…

Doesnt MILF have another significance?
Those guys weren’t MILFs, they were MILKs (Men I’d like to kill)
Richard, I don’t get your comment. What other significance?
Curzon, Jeff got it. Do a search on MILF and you will understand :)
Actually Jeff, that was what I was going to say to you…
g2 love the filipino milfs
LOL @ Richard and Curzon!
Actually, according to a good ex navy friend they were called LBFM
“Do a search on MILF and you will understand :) ”
Just don’t Google it at work.
I am fairly sure they are the exact SAME terrorist organization which Saddam provided training in Iraq (probably at Salman Pak) to some of it’s members. Saddam also provided them with arms and financial support for some eight years.
Support which did not cease until after we began our removal of Saddams Regime and the Liberation of the Iraqi people.
It is great so many of this terrorist scum are no longer around to do the terrible things they do.
I know I’m late to the party on this one, but thanks for sharing Curzon. That made my day.
I sent this around to some friends and one of them came back with an update:
“Meanwhile, the Cotabato Urban Guerrilla Armed Resistance (COUGAR) force has launched a counteroffensive against the MILFs to regain territory recently captured by the MILFs, namely the local college bar. “
