yep - Told McCrystal not needed in talks taking place in DC re strategy - told him to wait - after all, he had basketball to play

( I wonder if his handlers didn't tell him a little basketball would endear him to us plebeians? To not realize we really resent his taking time for a trip to Copenhagen, a night out on the town, speech after speech pushing a program that won't even go into effect until 2013, playing basketball, etc, while ignoring our troops while they die in the highest numbers since 2001....unfathomable

Please, Dear God, override these people.
