"&lt;p&gt;All of us had our own moment on 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;All of us know, of our generation, exactly where we were when the news came.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;I was in the Pentagon. And so it's been very deep in me that our homeland's security is tied to the defense of Afghanistan and to getting things right in Afghanistan.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;The FBI has a very unique role to play.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;Of course the FBI is the bridge back to the United States of America. The FBI is the shield in the United States of America.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;What 9/11 taught us is that you can't defend from the shoreline, the United States of America, against terrorism.\u00A0 You have to have the shield extended globally.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;They fit into a team of 16 departments and agencies of the United States government that do all this security building work, government building work, economic development work.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;All great organizations, great teams. But each one different.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;And I sometimes joke, especially in a setting like Afghanistan, that as U.S. Ambassador you're trying to manage 16 different United States government tribes and subtribes. And to keep them all working together.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;In that regard, let's say the FBI tribe plays a very important role.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;It's a highly professional organization. It's disciplined, serious, mission-oriented, always focused.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;And so, as the United States Ambassador, I've got to say that when it comes to just trying to inspire all the tribes of the U.S. mission here I like to have the FBI tribe out front.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
