I found that troubling as well, and taking this idea of being careful way too far.
It may be necessary to have an intervention brigade like this that is skilled at taking tough action but protecting civilians at the same time.
Action against the FDLR and the ADF has to happen I think relatively soon to make sure that the diplomatic commitments that we made are fulfilled.
These were not easy conversations, but they were direct and I think they were helpful in making it clear that the United States certainly does not overlook that sort of thing in this context.
