KYRA PHILLIPS: As they were drinking fine wine on the waterfront and prosciutto on their pizza. That's a whole other story.
Well, brand new information this morning on how the military plans to transition to a new commander in chief in a time of war. Barbara Starr joining us now live at the Pentagon with more on this. Hey, Barbara.
BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Kyra, CNN has learned that Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, last week ordered a team to be established to begin considering the issues and threats that must be briefed to a new president as soon as the votes are counted. We don't even have the nominees yet but the military is getting ready for the next president. Pentagon sources tell us the issues on the table, of course, will be Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, but an issue you might not expect, food and fuel prices because those prices, of course, skyrocketing around the world and the Pentagon is getting worried that all of that could pose some new security threats for the next administration. Kyra.
PHILLIPS: All right. Barbara Starr live from the Pentagon. Thanks so much.
