    The news report states they were on Jolo, this is not a very big island 869 sq km, surely it must be within the capabilities of the Philippine navy to surround / blockade or at least make it very difficult to leave the island then put as much troops as possible at one end and sweep it clean to the other end.
    An action like this may not end the conflict but it would end the ones who did this.

    I guess Canada does not pay ransom? If everyone followed their lead these scum wouldn't even be trying to kidnap people in the first place.

    In many cases its not to hard to find out around where the kidnappers and their families are from while may not know the street address. Start slaughtering their families and friends in return. Send in a team such as the Navy Seals or SAS with a target location and purge the location. I'd bet this crap would stop pretty fast. And when you can't find the family or the specific people target any that are part of the group or supporters of the group and their families. Kill 1 Canadian and have your entire clan wiped out.

    Canada does not pay a ransom otherwise they would effectively be putting a bounty on their citizens heads.
    If the Abu Saif were not making money they would stop.

    This is an old quote but it really fit's the bill here,
    “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing

    This war is obviously a political battle for an enrichment of a few politically connected on both sides, and the brain washing of many innocent people. If someone really wanted to end it then it would end. Use the C-130 with thermal cameras and drop a little left over napalm on the warm spots. I am sure things would heat up quickly and the battle would burn itself out. Radical approach..... YES... but not as radical as sitting and waiting for the next "be-heading" with sympathy tears rolling down your cheeks for the kidnappers who have been maligned in the past and continue to act as savages today.
    Obviously my post is not Politically correct. Sorry but I have as little sympathy for the residents of the island as they have the Canadians that can not longer breath. I figure everyone on the island that gives the evil ones protection gets a share of the pie... so they are all involved one way or another. There may be no innocent people living on the island.

    5000 government troops have been deployed to Sulu to go after the Abu Sayyaf group that beheaded two Canadian nationals in the last two months.

    Maj. Filemon Tan Jr., spokesperson of the Western Mindanao Command, said all resources from land, sea and air have been made available for Sulu operations.

    He said troops from all the service commands like the Philippine Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy, and the different support commands like the Scout Rangers and Special Force have been operating in Sulu.

    The DEA and Forestry Service in the US can fly a plane over huge patches of forest and use thermal imagery to find tiny pot farms because marijuana puts off a slightly higher heat signature than other plants......so why is it the Philippines cannot fly one of their C-130s with military grade thermal cameras over the tiny island to find a muztard camp that is going to throw off a ton more heat? There can't be that many people camping out in the jungle on that little island. I think the MILF (the one that runs the show in the ARMM) might be running interference and actively campaigning against such a simple solution.

    Not sure why National Govt does not impose martial law down there, curfews, ID checks.. the works.. - but I guess too busy in Madnila rorting pesos. I see Indonesia paid 4m usd$ to get their crew out. It sure is big business.. Estimates are these thugs gross about 6m USD$ per year. Maybe Superman D30 can clean up these human vermin
