U.S. Troops to Fight Philippine Rebels

This strikes me as a pretty big deal, notwithstanding the small number of troops currently involved. It reflects the fact that Islamic terrorism is a worldwide problem, not just a Middle Eastern problem: “U.S. officials have said in recent days that they have new information showing a stronger link than previously believed between the Philippine rebels and other international terrorist groups.” The war on terror is, as everyone knows, a war on Islamofascist terror, and Islamofascism is a worldwide phenomenon regardless of specific links among particular groups.
