I find this current news so depressing and invasive”. So what else is new?
About 1,750 US troops will take part in an offensive against the Abu Sayyaf rebel group in Mindanao, a US defense official said Thursday, ratcheting up the level of US involvement in that conflict…..”This is different. This is an actual combined operation, and it is US forces accompanying and actively participating in Philippines-led offensive operations,” the official said.
I wasn’t paying attention to Chris (dj_fmf at the boards) when he was asking me about the military operations a week ago. i just wanted to know the news on the war there. I mean what was he talking about ? Maybe it’s because it’s southern Philippines.
