the other candidates for leadership of the pentagon to be it through this era, a very smart -- no background in any of these issues. the other candidates is ashton carter. he is perceived as a good manager. if you look at his job on the f 35 i simply cannot agree. he is not picking on the fundamental efforts of problem represents. he let it float to the future and it is going to face a phase in this, even in the sequestered scenario, it will do nothing but increase the cost on airplane which is a disappointment in terms of performance and that is a result of his management. i don't see him as a competent candidate to lead the pentagon through this future, thank you very much. >> thank you, winslow wheeler. our final speakerheather hurl r hurlbert is, prolific author, former speech writer and has been very active in national defense issues. >> thank you. i want to apologize for being late. talking about congress and the future it was nearly a dramatization of what i make my remarks. and to contract comments my three predecessors have made i want to make three comments about political realitie

>> only from what we've heard from the pentagon, from sources at the pentagon, who say he disputes any wrongdoing in this matter. >> all right. so yesterday we were talking about the importance of the time line. this is of the petraeus affair. adultery is a criminal act in the military. but officials say the relationship between petraeus and broadwell actually began after he retired. but what about allen? he is a current commander. he is married. if these e-mails reveal evidence of adultery could he face criminal charges, as well? >> if there was actual sex between a married officer and someone else then yes, it's possible. although i talked to a source earlier today who says he believes in this case, even if there was adultery, he's not saying there was, but he does not feel that there would be a criminal charges brought against general allen. >> all right. and we have another bizarre twist in this story. we know paula broadwell's home was searched. actually we're going to deal with this one first. do you have any idea what the agents found or what they were searching for? and then i'

the fbi referred the case to the pentagon. the pentagon is now investigating. let's get right to maryland congressman elijah cummings the ranking democrat on the house oversight committee. okay. let's start with general john allen which is the latest thing and we now know about announced by -- leon panetta at 1:00 in the morning. how much concern do you have about what's happening in the story? are we really just seeing sort of a tangled, you know, connections of what is essentially a sex scandal and nothing more than that? >> i'm not sure what it is. and i think that that's why we need to let these investigations go forward. to try to figure out what we have here. i do believe that it's becoming quite serious when you're talking about 20,000 to 30,000 e-mails. i think we need to let it run its course as one who has done investigations and as a lawyer i can tell you that i think what the fbi has to do and which i know they are do something following the evidence wherever it may lead. and so we will just have to wait and see. >

does the pentagon say this was an act of war? >> reporter: the pentagon wouldn't go there. george little was asked that question during the briefing and he said he wouldn't get into quote legal characterizations, but it's the first time an american drone has ever been fired on by iranian aircraft fighter jets and it was in international waters. fit was 16 miles off the coast of iran. it's important to point out this was a classified mission that suggests that while the pentagon may say the was routine surveillance of the maritime straits, it was a classified mission. megyn: ambassador? your reaction. >> reporter: the iranians have gotten at least one other american drone. they claim they show it down we claim it landed by malfunction. they are obviously intending to show they are prepared to use force to brush us back. i think although the timing of this was before the election, i think there is something to the proposition that the iranians are trying to show to the united states that any use of military force against their nuclear program would not go unattended. megyn: t

at what the pentagon spends its money on. so i'll stop there. >> thank you, bill. our next speaker is winslow wheeler at the center for defense information. both housed at the project on government oversight. >> good morning. thanks for having me here. i'm going to talk about what i think are three fundamentals that we face for the future in the pentagon budget. the first fundamental is that the department of defense is completely unprepared for its own future. um, first of all, department of defense thinks it, the future, is not going to happen. .. >> that's the historic norm. defense department's core belief is that the blue line, the sequester line isn't going to happen. it's going to be rescued from that, and it's going to be something somewhere below the obama budget, which the flat red line, but not as bad as sequester. it would be a doomsday. well, they need to check their own history. and even popular attitudes about artemis at fenchurch -- ms. adventures international and given our -- there's no other place which the

funds of the pentagon pentagon happens it will destroy and hallow out the military and whether he -- i mean if he is deposed. and h leaves that will allow obama more leeway cutting the pentagon. otherwise panetta could resign on principle if the sequestration were to happen. that would be embarrassing. >> bret: so you think it doesn't happen? >> i think he will likely be eased out. so there will be somebody more pliable at defense. >> i think the term for is it "flexibility" in this administration, second term. >> malleable. >> the president prefers flexibility. >> he will be flexible after the election. he told his good russian friend. >> bret: this is the parlor game we play, finding out who will be in the cabinet, the second term. that is it for the panel. stay tuned for a final election message from one of the campaigns. watch this.

contact was, it was enough to be referred to the ig in the dod in the pentagon, and does this mean there has to be more focus on character or should we stop being hypocritical about this and say generals are human and their behaviors are really not subject to the military code? >> if you listen to officers and enlisted men, the congress, the people talking about the issue, they would argue that we have to be less hypocritical about the fact that people are people and they're going to make mistakes and to the extent they don't have an effect on the mission, for example, we should ignore it. but i don't think you're going to get that from everybody and a certain percentage of people will make a big deal of it. we're talking about the congress now, and the congress probably the last group of people who ought to cast stones at glass houses nos here in the question about the generals themselves, three and four-star generals, larger than life, they do extraordinary things in the case of general petraeus, brilliant, redesigned the whole manual, the fact that he changed the way we fought the war

it is off the heezie. >> story two, the pentagon robots. lauren you said you had an appreciate for metal men. in the genre of metal men, what kind of metal man would you appreciate? would you say you are more of a row bow cop woman or a terminator or the a c3po. >> when is a c3po? am i supposed to know what that is. >> if you know your ""star wars"". >> oh please. i don't know star worse.

reported this what has been sort of the reaction to all this whole the pentagon doesn't seem to like it at all it's weird how it seems like the pentagon at this point should really just start rethinking how they handle their public relations i mean i guess you could go back and say that they've always had a bit of a problem but. this is something that people still want to know about where they're getting in trouble for allegedly breaking nondisclosure agreements and releasing or sharing classified information we don't know what something needed to the game it has nothing to with bin ladin apparently but something made it there in the pentagon never signed off on it so it seems we know that other information have been moderated went to hollywood already and there's already been a congressional or calls for congressional inquiry into that but it seems like the pentagon is really picking and choosing who they want to reprimand who they want to hold accountable for what i think is really good point i remember we saw a few months ago that story on sixty minutes you know those i believe th

dimension to my remarks the basic problem of the pentagon not knowing where the money is going, not knowing what it does when it gets there and not going out the other end. to understand however you want to define waste, and i am fine with the broad definition, you don't know how much there is until you have succeeded in audit. that is going to be some time after the 27 deadline the pentagon set up for itself. in 2014 they say budgetary resources tell us where the money went. in 2017 they say they will have an audit of the assets which is stuffed. nowhere in the plan is what happens with the money when it got to the recipient and that is the key part and that is the part they somehow forgot to put in their plan. and so knowing how much technically definable waste, fraud and abuse occurred is nowhere on the pentagon horizon. >> and donald rumsfeld said there has got to be 5% waste, there has got to me. he didn't identify nor did he get rid of it. in the 1990s when the curve was coming down there was a great deal of interest in defense reform and i believe it was the national commissi

in the pentagon? and then we have a layer of bureaucracy on top of it. i mean, you raise great points, but the fact is it doesn't get looked at. and so there is inertia. now we have a prostate program at the program whereas the health research at the program is things that affect troops directly in terms of battle, infectious diseases, posttraumatic stress, things that are impact the health of our troops directly as a consequence of them being either deployed or a part of the program. >> senator, be-- part of the military. >> senator, besides audit legislation, do you have any other plans to try to make some of these recommendations a reality? for example, defense authority bill might be coming to the floor as soon as today. >> depends on if you can get any amendments. you know, last year they cut off the amendments about halfway through. we'll offer a ton of amendments. we probably won't be allowed to get them heard. again, it's the dysfunction of washington. not only do we not do oversight, we don't

man in charge of the war and we heard from secretary panetta off the pentagon and also jay carney, the white house spokesman today. he's kept the confidence of the president and secretary panetta. so he will keep his job. the war will go on as it has for the past 11 years. >> jennifer: okay. since the president and secretary panetta issued a supportive statement does that indicate his denial checks out? general allen has denied, of course, having an inappropriate relationship with jill kelley. >> what a lot of people here in town think it means is that if he broke some form of protocol or some military guideline, it wasn't enough to trigger a criminal investigation by the fbi or by other federal officials and so that's the reason the justice department and the fbi handed this matter over to the pentagon's suspected general for it to look into it. that still could have serious repercussions for general allen. by keeping him on, by not suspending him as they have other general officers accused of crimes, it indicates they're hoping he can survive this and keep going with his career. >> j

i would refer to you the pentagon for the process under way with regards to general allen. >> reporter: some lawmakers are coming out in support of general allen. >> general allen said he's not guilty of any improper behavior. i think he deserves to have us withhold judgment until the investigation the completed. >> reporter: general petraeus was scheduled to testify today about the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. in light of the scandal he will not appear at that hearing a decision that's angered some lawmakers. >> i think it's absolutely imperative that general petraeus come and testify. >> reporter: in his place today acting cia director michael morell a leading candidate to replace petraeus at the cia. now paula broadwell and jill kelly two women involved here are not making any statements to the press so far. general allen is considering making a statement. >> susan mcginnis in washington this morning. >>> jill kelley is well-known in social circles for her work with the military community. kelly and her husband often hosted parties for officers and their families. she w

or taxpayers money the pentagon auto. company is overcharging taxpayers. company billed taxpayers for its contract work in iraq it is your money that's being used these contracts have managed this is to cost plus which is the opposite of trying to save money it guarantees that everything that you buy will be paid back and read if you see it is justified and you'll be given a profit in addition. the critics. say the more taxpayer dollars halliburton and more halliburton. cost plus encourages you to write up the cost of the program because you are going to get a percentage of the end result is so there is no incentive to stay at motel six states. in qatar folks the place they chose for orientation the way it was a huge resort set right on the ocean. so it was better than the window. it was faint save marble floors mahogany wood were just beautiful they had seen. you could go on real wave runners play in the water they were running wave runners and we got paid by the hour to do it i was told this don't question and enjoy it

let's go to the important issue, which is who takes which jobs at the pentagon. loren? panetta moves on who will we see, sometimes chuck hadelea's name. >> he's a member of the opposition party, but not a problematic one. i don't think they will do that. i think they will be with ash carter, the default. he knows everything about the building at the point. >> and has a great policy foundation which is what he had before he took over. >> here's the key. the chief is whoever the next secretary of defense is, they will be build-down. you want somebody who notes the in in other words of the building, -- inside of the building, and work with the white house, the white house is really -- >> the deputy will be key, who are we hearing? >> flornoi is regarded as a policy player, but that requires a manager who should be looking for somebody with some management credential. >>> let's go to the issue of uncertainty. there are a lot of folks who have been saying defense court terse have been sitting -- contractors have been sitting on the inside. does it clear up the uncertainty? >

the pentagon has conducted a search of the home. jill kelly's brother took issue with it. >> she took issue with it and she did not realize it would spark a maelstorm. >> reporter: it took several days for the president to learn about petraeus. a senior defense official says allen denies doing anything inappropriate. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. >>> thank you very much. the latest strange twist, petraeus actually has a connection to a new video game released early this morning. scott mcgrew is here with that part of the story. >> good morning. the game is called "call of duty black ops 2." as you load this game into your x-box this morning, you are not waiting. you are discovering one of the characters in the game is indeed petraeus. now, there is no indication petraeus actually participated in the making of the game, but he is in there. we have some video here for you from last night. just before midnight, they are counting down. >> three, two, one. >> there they go. the franchises sell billions of dollars worth of products.

in a new twist to the david petraeus sex scandal, the pentagon says that the top commander in afghanistan, general john allen, is under investigation, for sending allegedly improper e-mails to jill kelly. kelly is the florida woman who triggered the investigation and ultimately forced petraeus to resign. the pentagon is reviewing between 20,000 and 30,000 documents involved. allen, meanwhile, denies any wrongdoing and remains in his current position. late monday, agents spent nearly five hours at the home of petraeus' former mistress, paula broadwell, leaving early this morning with several boxes. this, after the fbi told abc news they discovered thousands of e-mails between broadwell and petraeus, detailing the affair. >> in his universe, this moral failing is unacceptable and renders him unworthy of continuing this position of responsibility for the nation. >> reporter: the affair came to light over the summer, as part of an fbi investigation that began after jill kelly received threatening e-mails she believed from broadwell. >> the fbi, that's an investigation. and they realized they

what is the concern for the pentagon now? >> well, you know, that's exactly why these are out there conducting this surveillance. it's absolutely critical. >> to keep the oil shipping lanes open free, no problems on the waters. our concern is that iran, if it takes a military action, would begin in the gulf by mining those waters, so the drones are helpful in keeping a wide surveillance from above, watching the waters making sure nobody is putting out any mines. it's all about the oil shipping lanes and the economy in this region. nobody wants to see a shooting war. nobody wants to see any instability in the region. >> all right. barbara, thank you for breaking the story, and obviously, giving us the latest details. appreciate it. >>> this guy, he literally broke his back serving his country. well, now he is helping other vets put their lives back together. americans are always ready to work hard for a better future. since ameriprise financial was founded back in 1894, they've been committed to putting clients first. helping
