Joe Biden Admits He Advised President Obama Not To Carry Out Bin Laden Raid video by Josh Feldman | 11:22 pm, January 27th, 2012 » 21 comments
Vice President Joe Biden spoke to a conference of House Democrats in Maryland today, and in discussing the SEAL Team raid that successfully took out Osama bin Laden, he admitted that he advised President Obama not to carry out the mission because “we have to do more things to see if he’s there.” The vice president gave an insider account of the internal discussions in the White House before the order was officially carried out.
Biden praised the president for having a “backbone like ramrod” before giving a point-by-point recollection of everything that happened in the final day before Obama gave the SEAL team its orders.
“The President, he went around the table with all the senior people including the Chiefs of Staff. He said, I have to make this decision what is your opinion. He started with the National Security adviser, the Secretary of State and he ended with me. Every single person in that room hedged their bet, except Leon Panetta. Leon said GO. Everyone else said 49, 51, this…
It got to me. Joe what do you think? I said ‘You know I didn’t know we have so many economists around the table. We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President my suggestion is don’t go. We have to do two more things to see if he’s there.’”
Biden said that Obama left that night promising to make a decision, and the next morning returned to the White House and made the order official.

What a lie..!
This lie is designed to make the Muslim Bisexual appear decisive and bold.
And then Biden loses nothing cuz he knows he’s already considered a JOKE.
POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE BE THY NAME.
Here we go... Obama is so ballsy and bold that he went against the advice of slo jo.
If true, it shows Biden’s level of idiocy.
More likely Hillary wanted to knock him while Obama locked himself in a closet.
So our cutting edge technology and our SEALS didn't know?
What horsecrap.
Proving the reliability of the Biden Principle: Just do the opposite of what he says and you’re golden.
If this were true, 0 would have been in a suit at the head of the table. He was dragged in from the golf course and given a borrowed jacket at the last minute, when it was too late to muck things up.
Same thoughts.
And if Biden doesn’t play along, Hilary can just be replaced by Hilary.

I’m having a difficult time understanding this. Does the resident have to stamp his imprimatur on every operation, or is it only for High Value Targets? Are the SEALS crouching outside the compound awaiting the official GO? I can’t believe that these warriors just don’t execute the operation on their own. As they say in the SAS, “Who Dares Wins.”
Only time Biden opens his mouth is to change his feet..
Moron
In the photo the jacket shown on Obama does match that he had been wearing for golf that same day, but I’ve seen several reports that in fact OBAMA WAS NOT IN THAT ROOM.
I mean that that part of the photo might have been faked.
Obama the boooooold leader, suuuuure...!
So bold that at the Somali yacht stand-off he just let the whole SEAL team cooooooool their heels, and then the on-scene commander BROKE PROTOCOL AND ORDERED THE SHOT.
And THAT is why there was bad blood between the SEALS and the Bisexual Muslim —later that SEAL got hugely court-marshalled for “punching a POW”.
It was Obama pay-back to the SEALs for disobeying his, “sit out there and do NOTHING”-orders.
Oh suuuure Obama is soooooo bold, uh-huh...
I’ll bet Clinton was pissed. He was on the golf course and they couldn’t get in touch with him and Osama got away.
I think this is another drip that will turn into an eventual tsunami of opposition to keeping Plugs on the ticket.
Hitlery to the rescue.
This is important because? Joe? Why even waste medias time on this Joe? What internal polling do they have to keep this in the media anyway?
And Barry replied by sending him out for a box of donuts.
BS. I still beleive Osama bit the dust in that cave.
