Marines are very good at fighting... And if Gen. Franks wants fighters on the ground and he puts Marines in, he'll have what he wants.

There has not yet been a major ground offensive battle... There are, we know, negotiations going on between the opposition forces and the Taliban leadership for surrender.

The bottom line is that after we defeat the armed forces of Iraq, that we will want to and need to provide stability throughout that country.
