May I just say that throughout my whole career, I've realized that the plan and all the planning gets you to the start point and then all bets are off.
You know, if you're really lucky, it follows the plan, but we're finding that you're never lucky. Aircraft are running dry of fuel somewhere over the Mediterranean or the Adriatic, and the closest tanker has the only fuel in the area. It's making sure your folks can actually get home safely that you have to give that aircraft fuel. We're running airfields, as we ran Kandahar airfield for quite some time. Aircraft come in, get fuel, and move out.
I guess I would say that this whole convention is a very good and proper thing, but the reality for those men and women who have to fulfill their duties is one of chaos when they are in a combat theatre. Whether it be in Iraq, whether it be in Afghanistan, or whether it be in Kosovo or peacekeeping missions, you cannot predict what will happen.
We can do everything possible to make sure we abide by the intent and the spirit of this convention and of the law. Can you guarantee it? I believe as the minister said, there's a small percentage probability that there won't be a problem. That's the reality.
