"In short, our intelligence community needs to work as one integrated team that produces quality, timely and accurate intelligence. And let us be honest, this is a tough task. But this will be Jim's core mission, he is eminently qualified, and he has my complete confidence and support," Obama explained.
奥巴马说：“总而言之，我们的情报机构需要作为一个一体的团队，收集高质量的、及时的和准确的情报。让我们坦率地说，这是一项艰巨的任务。但是这将是吉姆的核心任务。他绝对有资格胜任这份工作，他拥有我完全的信任和支持。”
The president says the U.S. intelligence community has vastly improved since the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon in 2001. But he says December's incident in which a Nigerian man boarded a jet headed for Detroit with explosives hidden in his underwear shows that more work lies ahead.
奥巴马总统说，美国的情报机构在2001年对纽约和五角大楼的恐怖袭击后已经获得了重大的改善。但是他说，去年12月一名尼日利亚男子将爆炸物藏在内衣里登上一架飞往底特律的班机的事件显示，还有更多的工作摆在面前。
