So, you want a SEAL mission to hinge on the micromanagement of the POTUS?
Come on guys, there's enough real stuff to not like about Obama without having to serve up this tripe from breitbart....but if it makes you feel better go for it....but you're not convincing any independents of moderates.
Barack Obama failed to approve their operation while he was on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard.
The facts are presented in the article. Nuff said.
Unfortunately politicians think they need to micromanage military operations....I prefer it not be that way but it is and he should be around to deal with things like this.
By the next night, Obama’s most senior advisers had studied the plan, assessing the intelligence about the hostages’ whereabouts and the risks to American personnel. The president signed off on it, meaning the nighttime raid could go forward.
...
Some officials stressed the unusual nature of the SEALs’ step in initiating the raid the first night without having the required approval beforehand.
Officials also said there was disagreement among intelligence experts about whether the hostages had been at the compound the first night and possibly moved before the raid occurred on the second night, or whether they were never there.

The Seals were waiting around with baited breath for Commander Obama to give the orders. Lol..
Our special forces shouldn't be sent to rescue dumbasses that voluntarily go to places like Afghanistan and Syria. These Christian and humanist do-gooder's need to accept the consequences of their actions. These people are not worth the lives of Seals, Delta, Rangers or anyone else who might be sent to to rescue their dumb selves.
Totally agree. But, in fairness, the point of the story is that Chicago Jesus couldn't be bothered until the 19th hole.
And we are supposed to believe his vacation was the reason why they aborted the mission?
Try reading the article.
