More likely President Jarrett dithered and the Clintonistas saved the President's bacon.

Don't forget that within a day of Obama making his most presidential decision, to do what every other American would have done without giving it a second though, people were claiming he waited 16 hours to make the call.

From the UK Daily Mail...
According to The Daily Mail:
Quote:
But the president stunned officials when he told a national security meeting that he wanted more time to think - and disappeared out of the room.

'I'm not going to tell you what my decision is now - I'm going to go back and think about it some more,' said Obama, according to the New York Times. He then added 'I'm going to make a decision soon.'

If you are under the impression that the White House's intelligence commission made a unanimous decision on a SEAL raid, you would be incorrect. The decision was split between some advisers recommending that more time was needed to stabilize the intel and confirm, with a greater degree of accuracy, that Bin Laden was actually in the compound, and other advisers were against the SEAL raid, pursuant to an air strike on the compound.

IanVic, I'm not sure what your point is. All I was illustrating is that in addition to what the book claims, within a day of OBL being killed reports surfaced that claimed Obama, himself, delayed issuing the go order by 16 hours. Which appears to run contrary to what the MSM/Obama Administration portrayed at the time. This book apparently makes more claims that run contrary to the MSM/Obama administration narrative for what happened.

There's a couple of "new" ones here, signed on in the past 20 months or less, who only post in GTPI.

I wonder if they're working eight or twelve hour shifts?

Come on, guys. We're so quick to point out speculation and weak evidence when we disagree with it. If it's true and the specific circumstances don't help him, then by all means jump all over the idiot. Try to remain slightly objective until then.

The act was so out of character it is only natural to doubt it. Even some of President 0's supporters admit that he is a weak and indecisive leader: The OBL raid is an outlier to his usual pattern of behavior.

And, they are pathetically easy to spot.

Part of that "internet buzz" for Obama the media kept playing up last election.
