Do you want to volunteer it? Your version of events is completely different from the one described by, among many others, Robert Gates, who called it one of the most courageous decisions he has ever seen a president make. I frankly don't believe you know anything he doesn't about this raid.

Both Bobo, the Post Turtle, and especially, his close adviser, Valerie Jarrett, were totally against this high risk mission. Their plan was to delay the mission by giving Mr. Panetta the authority to "call" the mission. The reasoning was that he would never have the courage to do this on his own. They were wrong.....as usual. But once the mission was successful, he, the Post Turtle, took full credit. What a dick!

No.

Why, you wouldn't believe your own blood as the muslims cut your throat.

p.s., Look it up yourself but don't use Google, they are in the back pocket of Bobo, the Post Turtle.

This runs completely contrary to what everyone else has said about what went down in the White House that evening.

There is no doubt that Obama went back and forth about the raid, but how the hell could he NOT? He was risking American lives, sending them in after a man the US had sought out for years, based on intelligence that wasn't 100%. To top it off, the target was located in a country vital to the WoT whose relations with the US were already on the slide. If the raid failed, we might never find Bin Laden again.

Those are the kind of decisions that carry a lot of gravity and should be considered carefully.

So either produce some sort of source, or quit spouting your own opinion.

That's just too funny.

First there is no way that this Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle, cares about the lives of those in the military. Remember he is the one that wanted the military to pay for their own insurance to use in the event they were wounded in combat.

He is very careful about his own exposure to ridicule and bad press. That is why he voted "present" and gave the decision to his Director of Central Intelligence.

He is a dick.

What am I lying about?

You're an old crank in Flower Mound, Texas who claims to have insider knowledge of a highly classified Special Operations mission that is directly contrary to the version of events described by, among others, the President, the then-Secretary of Defense (originally appointed by a Republican President), and the Director of Central Intelligence. When asked about the source of this "information," you declined to identify it.

The overwhelming weight of the evidence demonstrates that your "information" is false and you are engaging in falsehood by promulgating it in that you know it is either false or highly unlikely to be true. Your actions suggest that your source of "information" is so suspect that you are loath to identify the source for fear of being laughed out of here.

You have no source to back up your claims. Hence, you made it all up.

I'm not that smart or creative enough to have made that up on my own.

It's out there. Find it yourself. The exercise will be good for you. Lord knows you would never believe anything link I posted.


....and I would not blame you. There are no reliable sources. None!

...and you believed the story about the Tonkin Gulf, the Watergate, the "I did not have sex...." or the nukes in Iraq.

Too funny!

The "source" you refuse to name is here:

The worst part of the fairytale land you live in? You can't even get your own made-up facts straight. According to the only source that claims Obama had nothing to do with the attack, Obama didn't "give" his power to anyone or even vote "present" (which makes absolutely zero sense), Panetta had the ball rolling before Obama had a chance to make a decision and then Obama was bullied into going along with it.

LOL!

It's a metaphor for punting which is a metaphor for......Oh, never mind.

I bet you didn't even try to think that one through.

Well it's not like he can use google to search for more valid sources... he said it himself, google is in Obama's pocket and he's even implying google fakes things according to Obama's all mighty will.

I promise it's not the water in flower mound that makes him fucking mental. I lived there and drank the water and no one else was even CLOSE to as nuts as he is.
