Weatherington would not comment on how much the Defense Department will seek in that category in FY '09 "other than to say 'there is not insignificant dollars in that also.'" Aviation Week also noted that Weatherington recently expressed "misgivings about a centralized organization for all Defense Department unmanned systems."

Samtidig med at indrømme, at "lederskab og en plan om at gå videre" er nødvendige for at koordinere militære Unionen af Afrikanske Stater operationer, Weatherington forklaret, "Enhver warfighter er anderledes."
