As someone who has spent a lot of time in war zones, I honestly don’t believe Biden would’ve green lighted this operation.

It’s documented that he was against the Bin Laden raid, he was against the Soleimani strike.

I’m not going to go into other opinions he’s had on other operations that most people don’t even know about.

But bottom line, his M.O. is to be cautious to the point of not taking any action at all. He’s a career politician who is more concerned about fallout than success.

I’m very concerned about him being the President while we are out there trying to operate in that incredibly complex environment.

Not a Biden fan, but I wonder if he was opposed to the Bin Laden raid to offer Obama an opposing viewpoint in the event that there were a bunch of yes men and yes women in the room. I'll likely never know, but something that I'd consider.

Obama was reticent also. It took some convincing.
