Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much, General, for the excellent presentation and the information you provided us.
Are the difficulties in Afghanistan for our troops a result of differences in capabilities and standard operating procedures between us and our NATO and ISAF allies? I am asking this question because you know very well there are different rules of engagement and different procedures, making it very difficult to conduct operations in that situation. We need to balance that issue, so maybe you can elaborate on that.
