Sept 4 th, 2006 Declassified Document  “ 한국군은 오늘날에도 전쟁 수준의 환경에서 높은 수준의 전투 지휘 능력을 행사할 능력을 갖고 있다. 주어진 위협의 성격과 준비 수준을 감안할때, 한국군은 지금 당장이라도 독자적으로 그들의 나라를 성공적으로 방어할 수 있다.”  General Burwell Bell U.S. Forces Korea Commander to Sec of Defense Rumsfeld Minister of National Defense

 " 어떤 나라든 국가의 가장 큰 책임은 자국 국민을 보호하는 것이다. 한국은 세계 12 위의 경제력과 대규모의 현대식 군대를 보유하고 있다. 정전협정이 체결된 지 60 년이 넘은 만큼 이제는 한국군이 작전권을 행사해야 한다. 나는 한국 합참이 전시에도 한국 방어를 통제할 능력이 있다고 확신한다 … 한국군은 많은 훈련과 세계 각지에서의 임무를 통해 전작권을 행사할 능력과 준비 상태를 입증했다.”  Gen. Walter Sharp( ~ )

 Alexander Vershbow U.S. Forces Korea Ambassador( )  “ 전작권 전환은 한미동맹의 긍정적이고 자연스러운 발전이자 더 균형적인 파트너십을 구축하는데 기여한다 ”

 US on a superior position  MD, THAAD  Wartime control postponement: “until the country's forces are strong enough to maintain stability on the Korean Peninsula?”

전작권을 다시 돌려받아야 할까 ? 전작권의 양도가 우리의 군사주권을 포기하는 일인가 ? 이것이 북한 / 동아시아 외교에 어떤 영향을 끼치는가 ? 전작권 연기가 필요한 일이었는가, 아니면 또 다른 미국 눈치보기였나 ?
