That being said--and I appreciate there may be some need for security around these numbers--it certainly appears that there's a great degree of fluctuation in the troop strength. Using the numbers you've used here in your report, they suggest that we're talking about less than 70% effective strength, which indicates either a lot of casualties or an inability to in fact recruit people for this work...or desertion, which is mentioned, in the police force. Reading the report, I don't see the kind of optimism you're expressing today in terms of progress being made here. Can you counter that with any information that we haven't heard?
