They knew he would dither and delay again, so they (Leon Panetta and Hillary Clinton -I can't believe I am praising them...) got him to agree to a set of ambiguous options.
Then. Leon Panetta decided that an existing situation met those conditions, and deemed that he already had a ‘go ahead’ to act in those conditions and pushed the button.
He knew full well that Odumbo could claim Leon acted on his own if it failed, or would claim credit if it succeeded, but Panetta is one of the least incompetent old Clinton crew, and was OK with that.
I bet Odumbass was freaked out of his mind when they called him off the golf course to tell him it was underway
yes, he set up a situation where "decisive" Stevie Dunham would have to explicitly say "no" to stop an operation rather than one where he would have to explicitly say "yes" to start one. They used his natural penchant for dithering against him. Of course, they had to cut Jarrett out of the loop first.
The photos from the 'situation room' were proof of that, eh?
Obama DOES make Panetta and Shrillary seem wise, skilled, and sensible... pathetic, isn’t it
Maybe there was something to that “unnamed” source, last year, that claimed Panetta and Clinton sidelined Jarrett and Obama, then ordered the killing on their own after Obama put it off several times on Jarrett’s advice.
After a successful operation, Panetta and Clinton let Obama take the bow.
I know it was on FR several times but was removed due to the “unnamed and unreliable)source”
