This is VERY interesting!
Question: how can Pentagon officials "FORCE" Obama to sign off on Top Secret capture/kill operations?
What sort of "leverage" do they have to "FORCE" Obama to do anything he doesn't wish to do?
Why is the word "force" being used?
Perhaps more context would explain this.
I would be interested in your opinion, if any.
Do you have more on this story?
It just seems there may be more to this story than meets the eye.
Didn't president Eisenhower say "beware the military complex?"
Thanks ahead of time for your reply.

It’s my impression that they are asking him to sign EVERY single mission, that they won’t take action unless BHO personally okays each specific hit.
They need to protect themselves, don’t you recall how they were planning to prosecute CIA agents who were doing their jobs?
Remember all the talk that continually recurs about arresting Rummie, Bush, Cheney, etc for War Crimes?
They have to protect themselves. Anything they do cannot be questioned if it has the Seal of The One on it, right?
Here’s the full story for context.

Having worked temporarily in a hostile corporate environment, I have had to require my boss’s signature on something or required him to put his instructions in writing because I was highly uncomfortable with the instructions and I knew that I’d take the blame (and lose my job) if I didn’t get indisputable proof that I was instructed to take specific action.
Normally, I would recommend resigning if one objects to the boss’s instructions. He’s your boss. He’s been given authority over you. It’s your job to do as he instructs. If you can’t do that, you need to find another job. In my particular case, however, there had been a significant culture change in upper management and we all knew it wouldn’t last long. So we stuck it out.
