wasn't completely reassuring. we have to remember, anderson, that the cia currently is investigating the president for russian links and his advisers and his connections with the ukraine and on and on. it is unclear how that's going to go. the new cia director still hasn't made up his mind whether he's going to ask the cia to go back to using torture and water boarding. it is all up in the air. demoralize, i'm not sure i would call the cia that, but war wary of the coming days. >> general, you served in iraq over your long storied career. you make the point that there are a lot of moving parts in the world right now, military, intelligence and around the globe that could come into play sooner rather than later. is that where the president's focus should be on right now, rather than crowd size and attacks in the media and stuff like that. >> i think probably sometime within the next 30 to 60 days
