Richard B. Nugent: “At some point in time I think we have to start making decisions about where we fight because what we don't want to do is…”

I think we can do that, but I think we need to avoid as some people are trying--seeing Kurds as the solution to this problem.

One of the recommendations I believe from that panel was also to invest more in medical countermeasures. Are we doing that? Are we investing more or are we staying status quo?

This is a decision that essentially takes the 'air' out of 'airborne.'

I absolutely appreciate the chairman doing that and would love to work with him.
