The forces of the level were starting to come down and the Afghan Forces were not operating along the border because they had bigger issues to deal with deeper into eas in the east ande south. And so, while we had had Excellent Partnership across the border in 2009 and 2010 and some that stand in 2011, that partnership basically ended at the end of november and didnt pick back up again actually it still hasnt picked up again. The other issue was ultimately to attack the insurgent elements on the eastern side of the frontier that we needed for them to go after. And i ran as you may remember in the media i didnt spend a lot of time talking about but we ran a very concentrated operation against the knifes edge and being an partnershi in partnersf afghanistan that committed large numbers. It proved to be quite good as the troops and gave me the sense that we could accelerate the afghans moving into the lead of the crossborder coordination is a very serious issue. Its a major security issue
