Did Obama hesitate to green light the rescue op due to Mr. Foley's color?

This president has a pattern of only acting quickly when a person of color is involved, while procrastinating when white indivduals need his intervention.

The seriousness of these charges alone merit his resignation to preserve the integrity of the presidency, where he must represent ALL Americans, not just those of color.

If Obama had let our Jet Jockeys bomb the Hell out of the ISIS Forces when they were first crossing the Desert rather than waiting until they were entrenched in Iraqi Cities, THOUSANDS of People would have been spared Death at the hands of those Terrorists.

All those tortuous Deaths are on Obama, period.

...failed because President Obama was slow to give the go-ahead...

Oh, you mean Valerie's cowardly "Don't do stupid stuff" foreign policy?

Figured it was something like that.

So did I. It is his M.O. He doesn't like to do this sort thing because of the high risk of failure (in the political sense of course) so he puts off making a decision.

The result: The intelligence input ages, the target moves, the mission fails and a man loses his head.

Hey, it only took him 9 months to decide on the troop surge. The idiot can’t make a decision to save his or anyone else life. Period.

“This is the Hamas operator. How can I direct your call?”

“This is President Barack Hussein Obama. Tell your bosses that we're mounting a rescue mission to reclaim James Foley. You'll know what to do. Have a nice day.”

Hey!

He CAN make up his mind: In the Illinois Senate, he definitely decided .... to vote “Present” every time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that b@stard (and he really IS one) used the delay to warn his fellow muslimes.

I really want to attend his guillotining.

“The reason that raid into Syria failed to get Foley and those guys was because the president drug his feet”

Like I said, this country is ripe and ready for a nuclear
first strike. And if there is one, I doubt he would retaliate
at all. Obama is a dangerous threat to the life and welfare
of every citizen in this country.

Leon Panetta made the call.

Hussein was still dithering and Panetta stepped up and stuck his neck out.

He wasn’t dragging his feet, he was dragging his golf clubs. I don’t think he has the starch to pick up a bag of sticks.

Now, this is a story I can believe in. Man-child cannot make decisions.

He probably warned surrounding countries that we were
going to be sending helicopters through their air space.
Remember Madeleine (notsobright) Albright.

Hussein did not have to tip off anybody. All he had to do was drag his feet long enough to make the best, most up to speed intellegence he was given at the time go cold.

We learned with Borgdoff that the enemy moves hostages every two to three days.

This enemy has the means and will, the money and the equipment to move every 16 hours if they so choose.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) is a CIA-trained former senior intelligence officer...

If he was a Lt Col, how senior could he really have been?

I have always thought the SEALS that took out the pirates holding Captain Phillips did so without orders from Obummer. He was wetting himself with hesitation.
