I wasn't fond of the attitude, to be honest - judging Angel and co from hundreds of miles away, with no context, no attempt to compromise? I don't think it's out of character, but it did irritate me.
That said, that started back in Damage, and if Andrew was telling the truth, it was indeed Buffy's call. I'm sure some personal feelings did come into play, but - Giles was never perfect. He's not a heartless bastard, either, though.
Well, okay, he can act like one sometimes, but so can most people. I still love him.
(I think Angel might have had more luck if he'd said "um, we have a DEMON GOD that might CONQUER THE WORLD, Willow might be helpful, we don't want millions of people to die".)
