Yesterday Leon Panetta claimed that he and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General Carter Ham, head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, felt they couldn't 'put forces at risk in that situation.'

The reason that is the lamest BS excuse imaginable is that we had forces under fire.

---------------------------------------------

Three Facts

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

Something to e-mail to every talking head, every Senator and every House rep.

Yes, I know about CBA.

There is some reason to believe that the assets were over the target and permission to use them were denied.

That would not be dependent on CBA.

If Woods had the target painted multiple times, the assets were in place. It was not used. Who do you blame?
