Official: Obama Admin Drafted Memo to Blame Military If Bin Laden Mission Failed
Fox News Nation ^ | May 07, 2012

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told Sean Hannity tonight that the Obama Administration drafted a memo to protect the president from blame if the mission to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden would have failed. That way Obama could blame the general instead of taking the blame himself. Mukasey wrote about it this week in The Wall Street Journal.

“That was a highly lawyered memo (designed to protect the president politically)… I think there’s going to be more that’s going to be tumbling out about that escapade but so far that memo is enough.“

It’s interesting that as a 24-year old Infantry lieutenant, I was “responsible for all that my Platoon does and fails to do.”

You put your finger right on it. 0bama, of course, was never a 24-year-old Infantry Lieutenant, nor did he serve in any capacity in the military, nor did he have any executive experience in which he actually had to take responsibility for anything. The man is unfit to watch a TV rerun of Combat unattended.
