It was a priority to secure the various ministries, so that we could get those ministries working on their priorities, whether it was -
Q So it was the multinational force's responsibility --
MR. McCLELLAN: There were a number of -- well, the coalition forces, there were a number of priorities at the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
