Probably so. He seems obsessed with making sure that Obama is not criticized unfairly. He forgets that this took five days to resolve; that the FBI was placed in charge of negotiations; and that the Annointed One refused to comment on the matter. Hopefully, we will learn all the facts and see if this rescue was successful despite Obama.
Since editorial comment is allowed here on FR I see no reason why either you, I, or others are not allowed to make informed comments. Knowing your past I value your judgments.
I have over 30 years of journalism experience both in print and on the air and was asked for editorial opinion by some rather large papers before I stopped writing. So I don't hesitate to given what I consider an informed opinion from time to time as well.
Once again, you should ping someone when you are discussing them. As far as Obama, my point is that we look like DU pinheads if we are making claims about what Obama did and did not do without the facts. We don't know what the Pentagon requested from Obama - he could have been simply going along with their recommendations. It has been reported that he approved the rescue mission. And IMO it could have taken some time to plan and prepare for the rescue mission. It apparently went off without a hitch, which indicates it wasn't just done on the fly.
