It's not helpful when Tom Holman talks about deployments and he referred to the state of Minnesota as a theater. That's words that are used in wars and in deployments to foreign countries. And again the last night when The president was asked if he was drawing down, he said no. I believe that part about what he said. So as far as it goes, it feels like there is a pause. But the tension amongst people here and the skepticism amongst people here is high. (01:38–01:41)
