First, with respect to General Richards' comments, I think he is trying to communicate to NATO and the public that NATO needs to make a greater effort in Afghanistan. But when General Richards starts making comments like six months, that's his own choice, his own judgment.
I can tell you that the problem will last a lot longer than six months. There's nothing magic about six months. Whether or not substantial progress is made in the next six months, it isn't going to mean that 70% of the people in the south are going to go to the Taliban. That is General Richards' way of expressing the need to have more NATO troops in Afghanistan and have the restrictions taken off the troops, so we can employ them.
That's his style of announcing this need to the public, which, by the way, we agree with.
