>> stephen: you folks, you folks are so good at that. it's like you practiced it two minutes ago. nation, the last american troops will withdraw from iraq by year's end. i tell them to shut off the lights on the way out but i'm pretty sure baghdad still doesn't have electricity. folks, i am glad we are bringing those troops back home. we need to deploy them where they are needed. australia. (laughter) you see next week president obama will announce a permanent u.s. military presence in australia. and i'm do excited. i had no idea invading australia was even on the take. (laughter) or as it's known down there, the barbie. you hear that you dijierie-dope. you're australian for bloep bloep, god, god, i hope, i just pray that obama calls this shock and usie. personally, personally i would have gone with iran or north korea next, but if you think about, australia makes perfect sense. it's a distant desert land full of known criminals, speaking a bizarre dialect with frightening tribal music. ♪ i come from the land down under ♪ ♪. >> stephen: and folks, within the intelligence community
