There is no doubt that the mission itself in Mali is a complex operating environment, and you can extend that to the Sahel. Geopolitical developments of the last half-dozen or 10 years have certainly changed the equation in terms of the variety of radical groups that are operating in the region, and that part is very clear. What it speaks to is the internationalization of every effort going forward. Mr. Gwozdecky talked about the multi-year coordination and commitment.
For me, even being part of the military is recognizing the prominence and the importance of an intergovernmental, international approach to the region sustained over time; it's not focusing on one unique capability just because we are there. Success will be in defeating these organizations. If we look in the context of Iraq, much attention has been given to the activities of the coalition wearing the uniform.
I tell you that I continue to be impressed by the other agencies that were part of the coalition, that were interdicting the flow of foreign fighters both ways, counter-financing, counter-messaging, and all of those critical capabilities as well as what the UN team is doing on the ground in Iraq. It's very impressive. Those are the areas that need to be highlighted going forward, and it's more than just one organization like the UN. It's a broader international effort.
