Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today.
I do want to put on the record personally that I don't share with you your assertion that the surge hasn't led to the desired results and that security has become worse. But rather than getting into a debate, I wanted to put that on the record. I consider that comment not to be at all accurate.
I do want to ask you, though, about the Afghan lead, which I think was the essential part of your presentation, as opposed to a government-led peace process led by Afghans and an inclusive political order. Could you briefly give us a picture of what that looks like, a word picture of what that looks like?
