I need to study his position in a bit more detail before I make a final determination..... If he is not 100% committed to FIGHTING and DEFEATING Al-Quida in IRAQ.. 99% is not good enough

Concur. But do note that if we have largish facilities in the theatre, it'll make the possibility of fratricide more problematic if we have to go nuclear, retaliatory or otherwise.

Thompson may have a valid point, or he may be waffling.

If he can't come up with a clearly focused position paper, we'll know.
