Narrative:

Mke tower cleared us into position. This resulted in an arriving aircraft going around. We queried tower but they still wanted us to takeoff. Aircraft on the miss was some type of king air? I could see from TCASII that separation would be minimal. The tower said to go on our initial climb out. Separation began decreasing. Did not go below 1000 ft. Traffic had begun a turn to 180 degrees, but did not clear the 2 mi ring on TCASII. FAA inspector on our jump seat felt tower was in error issuing our takeoff clearance. He was correct.
