I’m not up on military protocol, but in a situation like this, wouldn’t you expect the President to initiate the order rather than sit around waiting to be asked?
No. He has to consider whatever options are placed before him. You want THIS President plotting military stratgy? I assume not.
That God (and President Bush) for the high state of our military.
