Obama Uses Copenhagen Trip To Meet With McChrystal
But will this shut the critics up about both these items?
The fact that Mr. Obama had not talked with General McChrystal since his report was submitted at the end of August generated criticism from some who thought he was too distant from his own top commander. The White House argued that the president did not want to regularly bypass the chain of command and got plenty of information through weekly meetings with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
So, now, maybe it was worth the trip after all?
