Thank you very much.
I saw the request and I made the decision because I understand that you want details of what's going to happen. You will not get details of what's going to happen, because these are military operations. I am not going to endanger the military in Afghanistan by providing information to this committee ahead of time about what's going to go on in the Kandahar area.
At any time, you can have any official from the defence department, any military officer, who can explain to you what has happened or give any details you want to know about the defence department. But I'm not going to come here, and I'm not going to have people come here, to tell you what's going to happen next week or the week after in Kandahar.
