Did Obama really order the Bin Laden mission?

Last night on Huckabee there was a segment on the Bin Laden mission. General Jack Keane asserted that Obama has known where Bin Laden was since the summer of 2010.

If true questions need to be asked:

1. Why wait over 6 months to order the mission? Concerned about the risk and your political standing?

2. Did Obama really give the go ahead, or did a frustrated, and very pissed off general officer order the mission. If only after wheels up was Obama informed and pulled off the golf course to sit in the war room, what we have is a brilliant mini coup that forced Obama to do the right thing.

3. Is Obama taking credit where no credit is due?

While taking credit for ordering the mission is in character, actually making the call is against his history and not in line with his foreign policy of cowtowing to Islam.

Go back to 2010 and you'll see that Hillary is screaming about Bin Laden. Obviously, Obama was trying to keep her silent....but didn't do a vey good job. He loathes her..

Pssst...We still have absolutely no evidence of his death and we don't know where all the documents REALLY came from. And the documents sound nothing like Osama.

If this is true, he demured until he was probably threatened by the intel community with release. Even still, the little b!tch had to have memos generated that would absolve him of blame should things go wrong.

This country’s worst tyrant and most cowardly.

....and is it just a coincidence that it happened just after the release of his “long form” birth certificate? It sure stopped all the media attention on that little matter!

Maybe he was planning on waiting until sometime this summer so he’d get a big bounce just before the election but he had to pull the trigger soon than planned because of the BC.

I hope the General has a retirement plan. You see what happens when a soldier criticized the anointed one on FB.

At one time, they said it was a 50-50 chance Osama was there.

Any leader that risks our guys to get a worn out half dead man ex-leader with those odds is an idiot.

Remember how being the “Number 2” guy in Al Qaeda was a guaranty to get killed by our guys?

Did you ever wonder who it was we had in Al Qaeda that was giving us the tip offs?

I have always had a gut feeling about that situation room photo, where Obama is slumped down in his chair like a fourteen year old kid who really wanted to be somewhere else.

Looks like he’s still pissed about that putt he missed on 8.

He’s not engaged.

One guy has theorized that Ayman al-Zawahiri dropped the dime on OBL.

(Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden)

"Note:This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.”

I don’t think hussein wanted to kill a fellow muslim. But maybe he was jealous because bin laden wanted to take down America and hussein didn’t want any competition.

The picture of him sitting in the corner in a folding chair speaks volumes.

thats why the "idiot" Bush never wasted manpower and money trying to get OBL.

Obama decided it was well worth another 1300 dead troops to get his Game Ball

I agree...50/50 doesn’t make sense...and I still don’t like the whole burial at sea thing....I just can’t bring myself to believe it. I have really tried, but it bugs me.

As my uncle who worked at the Pentagon used to say, in DC, if it doesn’t make sense, then it’s a lie....always go with your gut.
If it feels like a big piece of the puzzle is missing, it is....they will try to jam in a few different pieces in place of that missing piece but they will never really fit right....

Just can’t get rid of the bee in my bonnet with the whole story...something is wrong.

Maybe someday we’ll know the whole story-otherwise known as the truth!

You just getting around to reading last year’s news? This was disclosed in all of the coverage last year.

You don’t think it’s relevant again this year, in light of Barrys “I Killed Bin Laden” one year Anniversary Dance?
