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.“

At what point will the military’s sense of self-preservation kick in?

It’s like dealing with a retarded child.
If you make a grab for a target, and you miss; you re-group and act as if the entire exercise was a part of a larger plan. You neither acknowledge nor disavow the attempt. If you say nothing, then it was nothing but merely an exercise.
I guess this concept is to sophisticaled for someone as “billiant” as Obama.

As loathsome as Jimmy carter was, at least he stood up and took responsibility for the aborted attempt to free the hostages.
I’d love to see this memo.

At least Jimmy Carter took responsibility for the failed hostage rescue mission.

Wasn’t this the guy that said The Buck Stops Here. The only way a buck stops with him is if you let him put it into his pocket.

So that’s why the Chicken-in-Chief was so shrunken down in his chair that he looked photo-shopped in that Situation Room picture of the attack. He was concentrating on the Blame-the-General note to the NYT that he undoubtedly had at the ready in his desk drawer.
