I’m far from an Obama supporter and I know he’s a dope regarding the military, but I still don’t see a problem with the Commander In Chief giving it some thought before sending troops into a very hostile situation.
Screw it. He is a ditherer and a dallyer and any hesitation (i.e. 1 minutes, 5 minutes, 16 freaking hours!!!) is inexcusable. The MF calculates the POLITICAL fall-out before he does anything. He is worthless, dishonest, cowardly and (am I leaving anything important out?)..
Saying yes to taking out terrorist #1 (aka the FBI’s most wanted man) shouldn’t be something that requires a lot of thought.
Five minutes of weighing the pros and cons should be plenty of time. A real leader would have said “Go” immediately. A waffling leader might need five minutes or so. Needing 16 hours and some pillow time shows that 0bama simply doesn’t have any true leadership skills.
Not what happened. The military did an end run around his indecision. They moved the balo without his consent. By the time he was brought into the sit rm from his golf game there was no way to stop events. He got the credit, avoiding a charge of cowardice.
Ahmm - they've known where he was since last August.
'bamba is the Ditherer in Chief. It's his modus operandi. He cost countless of our troops lives while he dithered for months on sending more troops - he's dithered on just about everything - he's dithering now - It's Wednesday. seen the photos yet?
Some things, like lives, are lost by not being able to make a decision!
If they finally had to override him - so be it. I'm sure they've got the goods on him - to make him sit in the corner chair and shut up....then let him take all the credit. Deal with the devil. this would sooth his narcissist soul and the politicians would, hopefully, gain steam for the election - stay in power. As for the military, I suspicion Petreaus has had about enough of this CICINO.
We’ve been looking for Osama for almost 10 years. The decision was made to kill him, from the get-go. The fact that the Seals had practiced the operation, and there was a definite ‘go-ahead’ from those who were doing the operational intel on this, means it should have been a no-brainer.
