The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Somehow I am not at all surprised by this.
Daily Mail is late to the party. Us Freepers knew that the very day.
The article does not say how long Seal Team 6 waited on the tarmac in Afghanistan waiting for the fearless leader to finish his beauty sleep and golf game while deciding to give the green light.
Perhaps when he finally did, he thought his friends in Pakistan already cleared out the compound...

the real story?
"Obama Overridden by Military and Intel Officials in Takeout of OBL?"

This jives with him also being very uninvolved with Iraq
I read the article. The account of the raid seems credible to me. What I don’t understand is how the author, a veteran Seal guy, knows what was happening at the White House.
He probably played golf until he found out the chopper had been destroyed and whatever the real mission was had been abandoned and a cover had to be manufactured.
Any real pictures of Osama, yet? No? Where are the silly Rosie O’Donnells and other leftist conspiracy freaks on this? It has a lot more real questions surrounding it than “steel doesn’t melt” and “an airplane didn’t crash” into the Pentagon crowd has for their silly conspiracies. just sayin..

Where in the hell do they come up with this? He looked like a guy that was pulled abruptly off of the golf course! He didn't even change his golfing shirt!
He didn’t look like a commander in chief. He looked like an evil fiend haunted by ghosts.
The soldiers were also said to be disappointed that Obama announced Bin Laden's death on TV a few hours later, making their intelligence-gathering futile.
0bungles the Kenyan Klown is the biggest mistake America has ever made.
They say golf but I tend to believe he was playing Nintendo or XBox.
It is interesting that there are a number of differences between this account and others that are out there. For example, I just watched the recent National Geographic special on this topic tonight, and there are numerous significant differences, including the order of events (helicopter crash occurs on ingress in one account, egress in the other).
So I am not sure I believe everything in this story. Nonetheless, one thing that I do find very credible is the comment about the Seal team being disheartened when Odumbo announced the raid, thereby ruining the value of the intel that they gathered. I had this exact thought when he went on TV to announce it, and again when I heard about the 10 hard drives, 120 USB keys, and handwritten journal that they recovered.
If ever there was evidence that Odipwad gives not a rat’s behind for our country or its people, it was that he announced this whole thing instead of waiting a few weeks for us to act on that intel.
I pointed this out at the time. Its really a big story. Needs to get around.
No, it looks like he was told to sit in the corner and stay out of the way.
