"US storms troops into the Philippines
By Al Labita
MANILA - The arrival of about 3,000 US Marines in the Philippines next week for training and humanitarian missions in the wake of recent floods has some Filipino officials wary that the soldiers could be diverted to war-torn Sulu island, where Islamic extremists recently killed two US soldiers. The scheduled deployment represents five times the number of US troops currently stationed in the Philippines.
The US deaths have sparked fears that Washington aims to ramp up its presence and retaliate against suspected Abu Sayyaf rebels, whom the US and European Union have identified as an international terrorist organization with links to al-Qaeda. Those concerns have renewed calls among legislators to either scrap or renegotiate the terms of the Philippines-US Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).

Umnnhhh...we've had lots of action on Sulu Island, but it's not been reported.
I'm for the Marines doing what they have to do to protect us and our country, I just am a little steamed how "O" is so incompetent with the military and he gets a pass from the press. I hope St Michael protects all our brave men and women who serve.
Thanks for the information, I did not know of the hot spots out there.
Have a GREAT weekend.
