Given envelope, you could have a significant increase in staff with very little cost. That wasnt true with the older model. Again, i think the Standard Embassy Design taught us a lot, but i think we can improve on it. We can improve on it in meaningful ways that give us more flexibility for the long term. And mr. Green, as you respond to that question, i just want you to include from your research from your committees activities, in fact, isnt that what standard build is supposed to do, is to include that . So isnt it mend it, dont end it, rather than saying standard build didnt include future an exes and expansion in consideration . Its a continuously moving standard that is done. Let me just respond to your earlier question, though. What do we need 50 years out . You know, the ambassador wants a bigger latrine in his office or we want 50 kaunconsular windows instead of 5. That changes all the time. I mean, we saw it here today and changed with Papua New Guinea. You had a plan to do s
Office. I wanted to ask a question about i used to work in the pentagon dealing with a lot of military competition issues and one of the things and concerns i think its u. S. Service members being forced out by the initiatives and event you also have other folks offered more money to go back and see and other things like that and some of the policies that have come out of that have been a little conflicting kind of sending a mixed signal. I know professor coming you mentioned about cutting the right flavor to get that force structure and death right mix of people. What do you think this is a question for the whole panel what do you think would be a more balanced approach to try to either get that right mix of people and also being able to offer the right level of competition for the people. I think if we are continuing to have an all volunteer force we have to recognize the fact that we have a contract. This is a contract to a relationship with individuals in which we promised them cer
Its too premature to speak about his legacy. After all yesterday we began an audit of these 8 million votes according to the deal that secretary kerry brokered last week. It will be a complicated audit and i wouldnt be surprised having gone through something similar myself with the ambassador and it may be longer than expected. And i imagine that to a certain degree question that we are going to talk about today cannot president karzais legacy will also be affected by how this election comes to an end. Nonetheless i think we all still have a great deal to say. President karzai has been leaving afghanistan one way or another the last 13 years since december, 2001. And we thought it was an appropriate moment while the election is being worked out to take stock of what has been accomplished in that time. And by that i need not only the state of the country they leave for the next president , but also certain habits of governing that he has adopted it has become the model to a certain exte
And part of which was a reality. We also dealt very closely on the issues of detentions. This goes again to this issue of president karzai seeking to establish and to reinforce the sense that afghanistan was a sovereign country and to wrest from the United States and other countries the kinds of respect due to that country and due to its people, and as we negotiated a contentious mou for my turning over of several thousand afghan detainees to afghanistan, that process and that sense of sovereignty came home in a very real way for me. And then, unfortunately, when president karzai abrogated parts of the mou, i had to cease the turnover of detainees until such time i was sure that they werent going to be released ultimately to target us or afghan citizens of the afghans again. We also had a period of time where we worked very closely on night operations and special operations, and that resulted in a memorandum of understanding as well where we sought to move from being unilaterally engag
