Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of the U.S. Central Command, says that no matter where a problem emerges in the world, if the U.S. military is called on to handle it, "we win," even as it fights a global war on terrorism. In a rare interview at his headquarters outside Tampa, Fla., Franks said: "It doesn't make any difference. You allude to Iraq. It could be North Korea. It can be any number of places. It doesn't make any difference. If we do it at this point in American history, we win." -- from the Detroit Free Press.
