The news conference to which this refers to was at 1 am (EST). I figured there would be some US reporter who would bring up the Clinton claim, and wanted to see how the General would respond.

The general giggled when he heard the question, and said something like "I do not think this plan had much plan for success so I shelved it. (the man could not keep a straight face the whole time)

It did seem to me he was repressing a burst of laughter.

Oddly enough...Christian Amanpour is reporting on this very news conference right now. Guess what?? No mention of the Clinton is a doof comment at all.

I just can't believe it!

However, much to be said about a White House/State Department disconnect on whether or not we are into nation building.
