Probably went something like this ...
Mil : Mission “Kill the rat bastard” has been initiated, Mr. President.
0 : Why wasn’t I told?
Mil : You were golfing, Sir.
0 : Who’s going in?
Mil : Seal Team 9, Sir.
0 : Do you mean Seal Team 6?
Mil : No Sir, they don’t exist.
0 : Who is Team 9?
Mil : There is no Team 9, Sir.
0 : I thought you just said ...
Mil : Mission accomplished Sir. Seal Team 13 was successful.
0 : Seal Team thirteen, I thought... uh ... I did good?
Mil : Of course, Sir. Well done.
heh ...
Always the opposite of what MSM says.
He looked kinda pissed about it then.
And there he sits... Skulking.
Exactamundo. He was out of the loop. I don’t care how tough you are, no one would go golfing right before a strike on Bin Laden. You’d be too keyed up and your game would be for sh!t, and Obama is a pantywaist.
I’ll remember this photograph for a very long time..it is commendable. Every one in that room is waiting to exhale.
Very serious, very solemn. Some there have seen the battlefield first hand, others in that room never have and are likely seeing the horror of real war for the first time up close and personal. Gates looks resolute, Hillary is awestruck, even Biden looks engaged. Obama is not leading from a front and center chair..but rather as a part of a team. I am certain there were no “high fives” or fistbumps upon hearing the news...perhaps a few words by the President and others, perhaps an exchange of glances, a handshake or two on a job well done, even some tears knowing that the years of effort and sacrifice resulted in victory.
Well done all. I’m sovery proud of our country and our military tonite (and not for the first time).
Prayers for all involved in bringing a very bad actor down.

Who looks like his whole world is crashing down on him?
Hysterical! LOL!
Some of this makes sense but it does sound like the leaking is coming from a Hillary Clinton backer who wants to put her in the best light.I doubt the pressure to move was coming from the Sec of State. More likely from the CIA and Defense The CIA suspected Bin Laden was secreted there since August of last year but did not have proof positive.That was 9 months ago. Why the delay? Were they trying to overcome Obama’s reluctance and vacillation?
Check out this picture...tells the same story as this article. Obama fresh in from golfing and clearly out of the loop and not the man in charge like he told the nation. Body language tells it all. Also, all the players are lined up on one side of the table just as Insider said. Obama is weak, unable to make a decision, and disengaged. His own team had to circumvent him in order to get necessary action...

This is the type of reporting the left is famous for and accepts on a daily basis.
ROFLMAO! You’re absolutely right. Almost like they said, “Just sit there and let us do our job.” Whatever, he definitely looks out of his element.
So the way to read the picture is the people with their arms folded, the woman with her hand to her mouth, Daley, and the guy with the honor salad actually pushed for the kill, and the rest danced in indecisiveness or opposition? Looks creditable to me!
What a stunning picture of complete fools, bottom line IMHO!
Bring our boys home now, these fools are wasting out precious nation treasure, and they know not why!
Ask the question 100 years later about who is the President in this picture. It sure doesn’t look like Obama.
Notice one guy has a suit jacket on. Daley??
I would probably pick him.
There is one more visible mostly out of shot that does have a jacket on.
Fantasy.
Hussein just had to get out of the effing way. That is all.
Just like all he needs to do is get out of the way of the economy.
This series of photos hack me off. This was a monumental event in US history..and Obozo goes in looking like that.
It is ridiculous. He is got some kind of polo type shirt on.
UNBELIEVABLE.
