Senior Pentagon Officials Confirm Special Ops Mission To Save Foley Failed
Because Obama Hesitated For 30 Days…
But Obama comes across as such a decisive leader not afraid to make the tough decisions, yeah, maybe not.
Quote:President Barack Obama’s “hesitation” to make a decision about American reporter James Foley’s rescue mission delayed the failed operation, according to a report.
Toby Harnden, a reporter at The Sunday Times, tweeted Friday that a senior Pentagon official confirmed that Obama’s “hesitation” delayed the failed mission, which took place July 4. [...]
Harnden reported earlier this week that Obama took almost 30 days to approve the mission, according to Anthony Shaffer, a former lieutenant-colonel in U.S. military intelligence.
“I’m told it was almost a 30-day delay from when they said they wanted to go to when he finally gave the green light,” Shaffer told Harnden. “They were ready to go in June to grab [Foley] and they weren’t permitted.”
Now current senior Pentagon officials have reportedly confirmed that President Obama delayed the rescue operation.

Actionable Intelligence has a limited "Shelf Life" --something POTUS was advised of numerous times.

RE: Senior Pentagon Officials Confirm Special Ops Mission To Save Foley Failed
It's my belief that Obama, not being a military man and clueless about what they do, simply asked the odds of the mission being successful, which probably got lower and lower as time went on, and the decision to try the rescue was calculated to be timed to have the most political impact and nothing more.

Coincindentally, this delay was during the Bo Bergdahl fallout. Bergdahl was released May 31st, and the administration thought they would receive public accolades. Instead, they received public rebuke. So the admin had to spend their time spinning and lying through that scandal.

So, Fit do you celebrate his many failures?
Tell me in some detail just WHAT Obama did that seems to make you think that he is some kind of a leader.
The narcissist could not organize a two car clown parade.

Yes, Zero authorized the mission. It's failure is his. Starting with his failure to get a status of forces agreement.

If you believe an American getting his head cut off is a "little thing", yet a thug getting shot by the cops is the epitome of injustice, you are most certainly a liberal...
