George B McClellan had at least one characteristic that drove Lincoln up the wall. Lincoln couldn’t get him to engage the Confederates. Time and time again, McClellan let opportunity to attack slip through his fingers.

He reminds me of the Major General trying to get the police to arrest the pirates, in Pirates of Penzance. The cops kept repeating “We go, we go”. Finally the Major General says “Damme, you won’t go!” Lincoln had to have similar feelings about George B.

As for Scott, hope he enjoys his 30 pieces of silver.
