Junior is finally going to do something about North Korea. He's going to attack someone else. Just like his campaign against Al Qaeda. U.S. troops to fight in Phillippines Force of 1,750 to target Muslim extremists, open new front in global war on terrorism By Eric Schmitt THE NEW YORK TIMES Friday, February 21, 2003 WASHINGTON -- The United States will send nearly 2,000 troops to the southern Philippines in the next few weeks to fight Muslim extremists, opening a new front in the fight against terrorism, Pentagon officials said Thursday. A smaller, six-month training mission in the Philippines last year limited U.S. troops to an advisory role and permitted them to fire only in self-defense in rare cases when they accompanied Philippine soldiers. The new mission will be a combat operation with no such restrictions on U.S. and Philippine troops fighting side by side, military officials said. TP
