Do you believe the army can buy back force with oka funds . Do i not, senator. Do you believe the navy can work with shipping in funds . No, maam. I just. Im not saying we come to this as democrats because we have engaged in gimmickry also. I know the chairman wants to face this head on. I know its a challenge in the environment. We have obviously not met the challenge with the bucket as its currently configured. I wanted to specifically ask you, general austria austin, there has been a determination that freedom sentinel is a new operation. Do you see it as a new Contingency Operation . Its a continuation of our efforts, senator so you know in terms of the types of things that we are doing we are continuing to train the and advise and assist the Afghan Security force but in terms of you know how we account for the funding that were allocating to that, thats a different issue. The reason im asking this is i am told there is an effort under way of naming a new lead Inspector General in
