FDT Mentioned in alJazeera

Fred has been mentioned in an article in alJazeera regarding Bush losing GOP support for Iraq. Interestingly they are indicating that FDT may not have as much support as it appears:
According to the Los Angeles Times, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson revealed that their support for Iraq’s troop buildup doesn't mean they have signed on to keeping American soldiers in the war-torn country.
...
The former Tennessee senator, Thompson, made clear in an interview with Hoover Institution that with the current situation, decisions have to be made on a daily basis.
I do believe that alJazeera is misreading the quotes a bit. Anyone listening to FDT much come away with the solid belief that Fred wants to WIN in Iraq. His statements regarding decisions being made on a daily basis have to do with allowing military leaders the flexibility to do the job rather than locking them into particular strategy.
