Blood in his hands

There is a clear effort to steer away the blame from the Commander-in-Chief, President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, over the bloody‪#‎MamasapanoClash‬ fiasco.
But we have to remember that it happened because Mr. Aquino broke all the rules. He embarked on this operation without the knowledge and participation of his national security team. He entrusted it to his suspended friend, Alan Purisima.
It was the President himself who disregarded the chain of command. He violated the Constitution and the law. It matters little what information was filtered to him on the day on the operation. He must take full responsibility for what happened. The blame must not just fall on Police Director Getulio Napeñas. It should not even fall on Purisima.
No matter how hard he tries to wash his hands, the blood will forever glisten with freshness in his hands.
