WASHINGTON — The Bush administration has decided to send a "fast team" of U.S. forces to Liberia to serve as peacekeepers, senior defense sources told Fox News Wednesday.

The forces sent to the violence-racked region will likely be Marines, but it's not clear how large that force will be.

Senior officials told Fox News last week that the U.S. ambassador to Liberia had requested deployment of the Marine "fast team" shortly after two rocket-propelled grenade rounds exploded outside the main embassy compound in Monrovia, killing several Liberians who had lined up nearby.

That "fast team" would be made up of some 50-75 Marines. Such a team is currently on standby in Spain.

Guess that ends this discussion, or does it?
