As one of those District Centers is taken over within hours the Afghan Security forces are taking it back. They have the ability now, the capability to react much quicker, to move forces all around the country to go back and take over those District Centers. I think thats a sign of progress as they move forward. Again, they have technology, they have the people they have the training. I think the difference this fighting season is getting the right leadership in place, holding the leaders accountable for the welfare of soldiers and police. And then building the moral of the folk as they continue to take the offensive. Theyre very defensive in nature. 80 of the Afghan Security forces are on check points and youre vulnerable to attacks.

But again we have seen fighting over afghanistan. He talked about the south end of the east and we have seen that in the last 13 or 14 years but the difference has been in the north where they express the Afghan Security forces. But i seem to react to that and again when they do the crossword nation and have the police and army and intel they cant he beat and i tell the Afghan Forces that the taliban dont have a nice 35417. It doesnt have the humvee. So it really gets down to the le
