The Obama Administration had reliable Intelligence on the location of an American journalist and video reporter, James Foley, and other hostages being held in Syria. (1) Fox News’ Catherine Herridge broke the story that the White House knew about the hostages’ location as early as May. The cover story for the delay was to have the intelligence community to develop further, most likely a case of “cold feet” or waiting on Valarie Jarret’s approval.
The Obama Regime was afraid that the mission would be an abysmal failure, similar to Jimmy Carter’s efforts to rescue American’s being held in Iran. That, of course, turned into a disaster which led to the death of 8 American Servicemen and became a major embarrassment to the United States. The specter of this debacle gravely damaged Carter’s Presidency and reputation. (2) The delay on the part of Barack Obama undoubtedly had a political calculation that if the rescue was successful in July and September, early voters would support democrats. The mission was authorized in time for the 4th of July Weekend and would have made great political ads for the upcoming midterm elections.
But the mission failed to rescue any hostages. Obama claimed he had approved the mission when intelligence was provided. But intelligence that was collected on the location of the hostages is time sensitive. The 5 weeks that the faculty lounge cabinet piddled around before authorizing the rescue mission rendered intelligence gathered earlier absolutely useless.

That's odd. When it comes to abysmal failures, the Obama regime has usually done everything in its power to outdo the Carter administration.
...and to believe that a considerable percent of the population worship this fool.
The undocumented Impostor, Obola, ONLY
is interested in freeing terrorist, from Gitmo,
from the Cole bombing, from 911, etc.
America is being led by al Qaeda and the EXEMPT
(with Patriots in the wings of the Lame Duck).
The throat cutter was merely a surrogate for øbola.
He is a puttz. Jarrett is the murderer.
If it’s an American, OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!
James Foley was an Infidel and unworthy of being saved.
