Ex-PH2 sends us a link to Reuters<\/a> which reports that the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf took credit for the bombing of a marketplace in Davao, the hometown of the new president, Rodrigo Duterte. 14 innocent people died in the bombing. I guess the ISIS-linked terrorists haven’t heard about the president’s war against drugs;<\/p>\n

The bombing came as the abrasive former prosecutor wages war on narcotics kingpins and street dealers, Islamist rebels and corrupt bureaucrats, scoring big points in opinion polls but at a risk of making powerful enemies.<\/p>\n

Rumors have swirled of a plot to assassinate Duterte, 71, which he has shrugged off as part of his job. The talk has been fueled by his controversial crackdown on drugs that saw him elected by a huge margin, but condemned by human rights groups and the United Nations.<\/p>\n

More than 2,000 alleged drug pushers and users have been killed since Duterte’s June 30 inauguration. Critics are alarmed at the sheer number whose deaths have been attributed to vigilantes, and the president and police chief’s apparent support for it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are a couple quotes that won Duterte the popular election this year;<\/p>\n

Forget the laws on human rights. If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I\u2019d kill you. [\u2026] I\u2019ll dump all of you into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

None of my children are into illegal drugs. But my order is, even if it is a member of my family, \u2018kill him.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The plain spoken President has a warning<\/a> for our own President Obama;<\/p>\n

Duterte warned President Obama on Monday not to question him about extrajudicial killings, or “son of a [expletive], I will swear at you” when they meet in Laos during a regional summit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Duterte has also had strong words for the Pope and for the UN in regards to his war against drugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
