Obama twice approved force to rescue hostage
****************************EXCERPT*****************************
WASHINGTON (AP)—Administration officials say President Barack Obama approved the military operation that rescued a U.S. captain held hostage by Somali pirates.
The officials say Obama ordered the Defense Department to use military resources to rescue Richard Phillips from a lifeboat off the Somali coast.
The officials discussed this information on the condition of anonymity because they were not yet authorized to disclose the president's decision-making
If Obama authorized force, that means a time existed when force was not authorized.
The CIC should only have to issue an order once. Twice means the two authorizations were different.
The L/MSM will put whatever spin on this issue they feel they can get away with to make Zero appear to be in charge. At least the Ship’s responsible officers gave the proper order to the Seal or Marine sniper attachment to drill some holes in the clowns’ heads. And the captain was freed and no one screwed the pouch on this one. The case file against Zero will continue to build over the next four years. It will take a rather astute campaign manager of some future Republican POTUS candidate to carefully provide the voters a huge accurate fact sheet.
