There's definitely a mismatch between political interest and intent, and what that mission is up to, what Mali is, what it's doing, and what the UN is doing there. It may or may not be the mission that actually helps Canada attain its political intent or its political aim.
I'm not sure. There has been talk in the media that the political aim was very high-concept thinking at the beginning, but that now, almost because of the type of mission that was chosen, it has been downgraded to the point that the political aim is not necessarily as robust as it was when it was first brought into the media.
