if you would have said it would be 17 years before another attack, we thought another one was coming. about you saying that she was responsible, yes, she implemented orders and doing her job. gina is a solid professional. she has great experience. she's smarted and talented and tough. there won't be much of a transition issue with her going from a deputy position to head of the cia. she will answer the questions. i am sure it will be an interesting confirmation process. it is exciting to have the first female to potentially lead such an important organization. >> let's turn to your report.
