"asking him why the command was wasting their time"

You are right, Lady.

When I saw the news conference this morning, I thought he should have asked him since the reporters already knew everything why they were wasting his time!

I would have loved it if he had said " You are right, this is a waste of time" and walked away.

"I would have loved it if he had said " You are right, this is a waste of time" and walked away."

You are right, Amy; although better yet would have been "You are right, YOU are a waste of our valuable time," and walked away.

He handled well the very personal insult by the one who had the gall to ask why HE was making the presentation instead of the Big Honcho!

Can you imagine what it took for that General to be in the position he has, at the right hand of the General conducting this whole complicated campaign?!!
Probably the most important one in the history of mankind, at that.
