Kind of funny how this went down at the bottom of the weekly news cycle, sort of like the late Friday night document drop.
The mission was delayed from the original TOT (Read: Time on Target) by POTUS because the live predator feed from the scene to the White House Situation Room was not operational due to a satellite issue. This caused a delay in the photo op scheduled in the Situation Room thus causing a delay in the highly synchronized operation and the compromise of the assault force. OK...OK...sarc off.
