The United States Is Going To Defend

Frankly, My Fundamental Beliefs Have Not Changed.

Well Look, Cia Is An Agency That Has To Collect Intelligence, Do Operations. We Have To Take Risks And It's Important That We Take Risks And That We Know That We Have The Support Of The Government And We Have The Support Of The American People In What We're Doing.

I Think Soon After I Became Director Of The Cia - President Obama Pulled Me Into The Oval Office And Said: 'look, I Just Want You To Know That Your Top Priority Is To Go After Osama Bin Laden.'

The Political And Substantive Reality Is That The Agenda Has To Change. I Don't Think They Have Any Choice.

We Have Throughout Our History Been Tested When It Comes To The Institutions Of Our Democracy. And Thank God Our Forefathers Were Smart Enough To Establish A Government Of Checks And Balances To Make Sure That Power Cannot Be Centralized In Any One Branch Of Government. And Those Institutions Have Proven Themselves.
