with regard to pakistan, this august senator winehouse and michael bennett and i traveled to both afghanistan and pakistan with really one focus of our trip. and that was this question of ieds and the material components of. the four of us sent you a letter just recently that you may have just got an number of days ago. i want to ask you about that topic. but i guess wanted to focus your attention on what the pakistanens have done or not done. i would argue that despite the assurances they gave us on our trip, and i mean assurances at the highest level of their government that they would take this matter more seriously and they would implement the strategic plan they had in writing that they presented to us. it's my judgment, to say they are very slow in implementing that, to focus on the networks that are moving these component parts that become the foundation of these road side bombs, ieds, whatever we refer to them as, either killing our troops on a regular basis in afghanistan or grievously wounding them. as a predicate to that as well, i want to thank you for your determined leadership o
