I think it's an excellent question, but unfortunately you're asking me to speculate in some regard.
What I will say is this. While I was there in October or November—I can't remember the precise month—an assessment team came from the United States Central Command. This was part of General Petraeus taking over his new role. They went to all parts of the United States Central Command area of operations, and we met the team that came to Kandahar. We get lots of visitors. Some of them are learned, like this group, and other ones are a little bit more taxing. I can tell you that the officials who showed up from the U.S. Central Command, they had their stuff in order, so to speak. It was quite refreshing. They asked the right questions, and I think that the subsequent strategy that has been developed by the Obama administration is actually probably on the mark. That includes some of the changes, I suppose, that they're making now.
What's important is that the team left with an appreciation, in a positive sense, for how our provincial reconstruction team operates. It is a different model than that used by the United States. You would have noted, recently, that the United States is trying to increase the number of civilians they're going to deploy in all of their various provincial reconstruction teams and across the mission writ large, and they've appointed a senior envoy in Mr. Richard Holbrooke to look at the regional problem.
All of these things are encouraging. So while it may be described as fresh set of eyes or a different approach, that different approach is going to look, in my opinion, and I'm talking opinion now, remarkably like the Canadian approach.
