Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) is a CIA-trained former senior intelligence officer and he says that the rescue operation for American journalist James Foley wasn’t successful because President Obama “dragged his feet”.
"Thursday morning, Shaffer appeared on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., to discuss the ISIS execution of American journalist James Foley earlier this week. He told me and co-host Brian Wilson that the recently revealed rescue attempt led by Special Forces earlier this summer failed because President Obama was slow to give the go-ahead:
I’m hearing from my friends in the Pentagon, they are giving him every single option way ahead of time. And let me give you a little secret here: The reason that raid into Syria failed to get Foley and those guys was because the president drug his feet. He waited too long, the intel got stale, and by the time we actually gave the “go” word it failed because we just didn’t react quick enough."

This president has a pattern of only acting quickly when a person of color is involved, while procrastinating when white indivduals need his intervention.
The seriousness of these charges alone merit his resignation to preserve the integrity of the presidency, where he must represent ALL Americans, not just those of color.
If Obama had let our Jet Jockeys bomb the Hell out of the ISIS Forces when they were first crossing the Desert rather than waiting until they were entrenched in Iraqi Cities, THOUSANDS of People would have been spared Death at the hands of those Terrorists.
All those tortuous Deaths are on Obama, period.
Oh, you mean Valerie's cowardly "Don't do stupid stuff" foreign policy?
So did I. It is his M.O. He doesn't like to do this sort thing because of the high risk of failure (in the political sense of course) so he puts off making a decision.
The result: The intelligence input ages, the target moves, the mission fails and a man loses his head.
.....not before the Mid-terms.
Hey, it only took him 9 months to decide on the troop surge. The idiot can’t make a decision to save his or anyone else life. Period.
“This is President Barack Hussein Obama. Tell your bosses that we're mounting a rescue mission to reclaim James Foley. You'll know what to do. Have a nice day.”
Hey!
He CAN make up his mind: In the Illinois Senate, he definitely decided .... to vote “Present” every time.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that b@stard (and he really IS one) used the delay to warn his fellow muslimes.
I really want to attend his guillotining.
“The reason that raid into Syria failed to get Foley and those guys was because the president drug his feet”
Like I said, this country is ripe and ready for a nuclear
first strike. And if there is one, I doubt he would retaliate
at all. Obama is a dangerous threat to the life and welfare
of every citizen in this country.
Gee!!!
jimmy Cah-tuh had his ‘moment in the sand’, remember?
This could become The Q-I-C’s Mayaguez incident!!!
Well I didn’t think it ever happened, except in obamas imagination..
Leon Panetta made the call.
Hussein was still dithering and Panetta stepped up and stuck his neck out.
He wasn’t dragging his feet, he was dragging his golf clubs. I don’t think he has the starch to pick up a bag of sticks.
As I’ve called Obama before,,,, he’s the hesitator in chief
Now, this is a story I can believe in. Man-child cannot make decisions.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if that b@stard (and he really IS one) used the delay to warn his fellow muslimes.”
He probably warned surrounding countries that we were
going to be sending helicopters through their air space.
Remember Madeleine (notsobright) Albright.
Hussein did not have to tip off anybody. All he had to do was drag his feet long enough to make the best, most up to speed intellegence he was given at the time go cold.
We learned with Borgdoff that the enemy moves hostages every two to three days.
This enemy has the means and will, the money and the equipment to move every 16 hours if they so choose.
If he was a Lt Col, how senior could he really have been?
I have always thought the SEALS that took out the pirates holding Captain Phillips did so without orders from Obummer. He was wetting himself with hesitation.
