Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you for coming, gentlemen.

In terms of policy and solutions, it's been said this is the most under-resourced operation since the Second World War. For example, the ratio is 1:1,000 in terms of peacekeepers, compared to Kosovo at 20.5 or Bosnia at 19.

There clearly seems to be a lack of coordination among the NATO members there. Obviously they all have different mandates in terms of their ability to exercise on the ground.

The question is this. Is this war winnable, given the strategy that's presently in place?
