My ability to predict what's going to happen in the future is normally wrong, so I have to be careful with this. Certainly the trend we've seen in the last couple of weeks is toward diminished activity. Is it related to the weather? There's probably a bit of that. Did we succeed in the Zhari and Panjwai areas? Yes, it probably has something to do with that.
Some religious holidays have recently concluded within the area. Certainly the Taliban themselves are noticing some improvements throughout Afghanistan itself, so a number are involved in Peace through Strength, which General Gauthier described before. So I don't think there's any one reason, but I don't think we should underestimate that it will continue in the future. My hope--all soldiers' hope--is that it has diminished a bit, but only time will tell.
