Topic: Killing Osama: Obama Thought About It For 16 Hours*

[RickZ]

[This comes from the insider 'Ulsterman'.]

Unbelievable.  He honestly tried to vote present on this matter, like he's voted present on everything before.  He was worried about failure negatively affecting his image, instead of thinking of being successful in taking out an avowed enemy of America.  What a piece of crap, to have the intel and Seal people on hold for 16 hours while he slept on the decision to take out Bin Laden.  Not so surprisingly, Hillary was for the take down of Bin laden, I guess learning from all the negative press Blow Job Billy received for turning down the Sudanese when they wanted to hand him over, as well as not allowing a surgical strike to take him out in Afghanistan.  Disgusting, especially when juxtaposed with his 'I/my' speech Sunday night.

A reluctant American president who was ultimately overridden by senior military and intelligence officials to finally take out terrorist Osama Bin Laden…

Note:  This communication came from our long time D.C. Insider and details previous and ongoing conflicts surrounding the decision to assassinate terrorist Osama Bin Laden.  This has been reproduced here as originally communicated to us.

Please get this out ASAP.  Want specific people to know we know.

RE Osama Bin Laden.  Significant push to take him out months ago.  Senior WH staff resisted.  This was cause of much strain between HC and Obama/Jarrett.  HC and LP were in constant communication over matter – both attempted to convince administration to act.  Administration feared failure and resulting negative impact on president.  Intel disgusted over politics over national security.  Staff resigned/left.  Check timeline to corroborate.

Point of determination made FOR Obama not BY Obama.  Will clarify as details become more clear.  Very clear divide between Military and WH.  Jarrett marginalized 100% on decision to take out OBL.  She played no part.  BD worked with LP and HC to form coalition to force CoC to engage.

IMPORTANT SPECIFIC:  When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not requested.  Administration scrambled to abort.  That order was overruled.  This order did not originate from CoC.  Repeat – this order did not originate from CoC.  He complied, but did not originate.

Independent military contacts have confirmed.  Stories corroborate one another.  This is legit.

The killing of Osama Bin Laden was in fact a Coup within Obama WH.

Speaking with additional contacts RE info.

Stay safe.

The above could be all bullsh*t, but given the previous actions of this White House, as well as the Daily Mail article quoted below, I tend to believe it.  That 3 a.m. phone call was answered by Hillary not Obama, just like she said during the campaign.  That's why in the picture of the situation room Obama looks so pensive.  He had no control over the call, and was probably a good reason for the long delay in his scheduled press conference Sunday night:  He had to take time to get himself inserted into the facts of the narrative.  Our Feckless Leader.

He had to think about it.
The Daily Mail reported:


Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would ‘sleep on it’ before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden’s compound.

Hit squads of specialist Navy Seals – who were not even told who they were preparing to capture – had practiced the mission at two reconstructions of the terror chiefs sprawling compound.

The mission looked set to be given the all clear last Thursday when analysts confirmed beyond doubt that Bin Laden was in busy town of Abbottabad in northern Pakistan.

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.’

The head of the CIA and other senior intelligence officers who were keen to proceed were left tense as they waited for the president’s decision.

But the next morning after 16 hours, Obama summoned four top aides to the White House Diplomatic Room. Before they could speak, the president put his fist on the table and declared ‘It’s a go’.

I wonder what the hard Left will have to say about the Chimp-n-Chief's "My Pet Goat" moment. They'll probably fawn over how contemplative and serious he is - how he weighs and measures all the angles before making life and death decisions.

Blah blah frikkin blah. Can hardly take it.

Pamela Geller has that same post at Atlas Shrugs.  Interesting, and quite believable given what we already know about Obama.

7 Minutes Vs. 16 Hours: How The Media Reports Delay

George Bush was relentlessly mocked for waiting seven minutes (actually waiting for his security detail to ready the exit and for his vehicle to be readied) before leaving the school he was visiting. He calmly finished reading My Pet Goat for the kids before going to his now-ready helicopter.

On the other hand, after Obama was told (most likely for the fifteenth time) that the CIA was really, really, really quite confident that Osama bin Ladin was at that compound in Abbottabad, he decided he needed to sleep on it.

This link came from a commenter on Hot Air, but I believe it is essentially the same.  Knowing this pretender, it could just be possible.  It could also be BS.  Wish it could be confirmed.

Here is an even better Ace of Spades post.

Telegraph, Citing WikiLeaks: Break In Hunt for Bin Ladin May Have Been Provided By Not Only Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, But by Enhanced Interrogation Techniques Performed On An Al Qaeda Operative Captured in Iraq

In other words, it was Bush-era policies that set up this opportunity.

Look at the war room picture.  O'Presidente' is the smallest man person in the room.  Then enlarge it and read his eyes.  Hint: He ain't worried about the SEALS.

[rickl]

By the way, I heard Rush allude to this earlier today.  He said he didn't want to give out the website because he didn't know if it was reputable.  But he did say "She says..." which led me to believe he was talking about Pam's site.

[charlesoakwood]

Here's the picture, maybe they won't mind.

he's having bad thoughts

ETA:

President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission.  Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military.  When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.”

Believe me, I want to think the very worst of this pretender president. But I have a hard time with anonymous "insider" sourcing. I want my loathing to be fact-based and sourced.

[BigAlSouth]

Who is that little kid to the Air Force Guy's right?

Yer kiddin me. The President? No Sh!t! Looks kinda puny to be the MEssiah . . .



edited to clarify. going to bed now . . .

If this is ever proven to be true, IDP is exactly right, they will simply spin the narrative that it actually proves what an above-average leader he is. His encompassing, deep intellect mulls every possibility and considers the potential follow-on effects several degrees removed. Not like that rash, shoots-from-the-hip cowboy before him, no no.

[RickZ]

IDP,

I understand your trepidation concerning this story.  But remember Obama had to be pulled off the golf course on Sunday while the operation was underway.  That speaks volumes on many levels, the most serious one being that he wasn't serious.  He cannot handle the day to day details of being President, he just likes the perks.  This guy knew since last August that a decision might have to be made, that the intel might be better than good and require action.  Did he prepare for that decision?  Hell no, he voted 'Present!' once again.  I also think the reason for the delay of his speech Sunday night was due to his speechwriters having to write Obama into the narrative, hence all the I's and me's.

Based upon Barry's shoddy history, I believe this story.

[IronDioPriest]

Well, I'm not saying President Made-a-Poopie isn't a pathetic waste of skin who's in way over his head in the most important job in the world. I just wanna see a name attached to that source before I accept the story at face value. I'm getting so tired of narratives. I ache for truth.

I ache for truth.

Ditto

The fact that any story, especially a coup de White House, even exists speaks to the weakness of HisHighness.  Just as the story of the event "evolves" through many manifestations so will the story of preparations evolve.  I do enjoy reading them.


it does seem as though the insider is Hillary's man

I thought the same today--the weakness is so obvious that it's easy for these stories to pop up and seem believable

[Glock32]

It's also dangerous. Ambiguity about who's really in charge, a president who can be cowed by subordinates, it's a classic recipe for trouble.

[Sectionhand]

Okay , IDP ... Here are two "Facts" ... First , the "courage" and "risk" on the part of our president was purely political . Second , the "Courage" and "risk" on the part of our Navy SEALs was purely physical and personal .

I'm getting heartily sick of hearing the MSM describe Stymie as if he's the reincarnation of Audie Murphy !
