"To Be Honest: I don't begrudge a president some thinking time before a big decision.
But the media still hasn't explained to me which of the previous presidents and which of the potential/hypothetical future presidents wouldn't have ordered this.
If everyone including Jimmy Carter would have ordered this, then I'm afraid I don't see why President Made a Poopie should be so praised for doing what everyone else would have done. That is, why praise him for being ordinary?
And yes, even Jimmy Carter probably would have ordered this. At least the 1970s version Bear in mind: He did order a failed hostage rescue attempt -- also fraught with peril, obviously, since the choppers crashed in the desert.
A commando hostage rescue is a lot trickier than a hit, of course. A lot more moving pieces, and you have to get all those people safely away.
So why should I praise Obama for a choice that every single one of his predecessors and every plausible successor would also make?
And probably not requiring 16 hours to do so, either."
If this Osama operation worked, it did so IN SPITE of “O” and his corner. How anyone can actually credit “O” or his administration in this is beyond me.
Saw this on Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugged site:
“A reluctant American president who was ultimately overridden by senior military and intelligence officials to finally take out terrorist Osama Bin Laden… Ulstermann (hat tip CO)

Please get this out ASAP. Want specific people to know we know.
RE Osama Bin Laden. Significant push to take him out months ago. Senior WH staff resisted. This was cause of much strain between HC and Obama/Jarrett. HC and LP were in constant communication over matter – both attempted to convince administration to act. Administration feared failure and resulting negative impact on president. Intel disgusted over politics over national security. Staff resigned/left. Check timeline to corroborate.
Now Intel already leaking to media facts surrounding how info obtained. Namely from enhanced interrogation efforts via GITMO prisoners. Obama administration placed in corner on this. Some media aware of danger to president RE this and attempting protection. Others looking for further investigation. We are pushing for them to follow through and already meeting with some access.
Point of determination made FOR Obama not BY Obama. Will clarify as details become more clear. Very clear divide between Military and WH. Jarrett marginalized 100% on decision to take out OBL. She played no part. BD worked with LP and HC to form coalition to force CoC to engage.
IMPORTANT SPECIFIC: When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not requested. Administration scrambled to abort. That order was overruled. This order did not originate from CoC. Repeat – this order did not originate from CoC. He complied, but did not originate.
Independent military contacts have confirmed. Stories corroborate one another. This is legit.
The killing of Osama Bin Laden was in fact a Coup within Obama WH.
Speaking with additional contacts RE info.
Stay safe.

I would not doubt or be at all surprised if eventually it comes out that during that 16 hours Obamajad was trying to get a message into Osama to run like hell!
His deer in the headlights announcement of the act was all but petulant and his demand for unity, even demanding President Bush appear with him at Ground Zero, (who thank God so far has turned him down), indicates a man not willing to stand on the act alone. He’s all but saying look what I did for you, now you better stand by me.
And of course, there’s all the little tiddly wink gossip coming out through White House aides that Obama wasn’t even in on the decision, indicates he wants to jump ship on the mission to appease his Muslim Brotherhood pals and put the onus on somebody else. This smells of Jarrett.
You can’t trust this man and you continually have to watch his other hand.
This is a must-read
http://socyberty.com/issues/white-house-insider-obama-hesitated-panetta-issued-order-to-kill-osama-bin-laden/
obama never did “order” this
he issued an order that was intended to stall and obfuscate, and men (and women) who were wiser outsmarted him and VALERIE Jarret, the “smartest woman” in the adminstration
Now we know who in this white house is “the decider”
This needs to go viral, all those women like Couric and Behar and those MEdia metrosexuals like Matthhews and Deutsch and O’Donnell wetting their DEPENDS over the strong decisive leadership of Barry Sutoro
Absolutely right. Second point: Obama pathetically thanks Pakistan for their help in catching bin Laden in his televised address, when he knows better than anyone they are culpable for aiding and abetting.
The reason: He does not want to be put in a position where he has to follow up and take action against Pakistan.
He must think we’re really stupid.
