Barack Obama cancelled three operations to kill Osama bin Laden before finally going ahead with the mission at the insistence of Hillary Clinton, according to a new book.

The explosive allegation is contained in an expose by journalist Rich Miniter, who argues that the White House’s carefully-crafted narrative of Obama as a decisive leader who dispatched the al-Qaeda leader despite the doubts of advisers is a myth.

Leading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him will be published on Tuesday. Excerpts have been viewed by Mail Online.

Obama 'cancelled missions to kill bin Laden THREE TIMES after getting cold feet

... Valerie Jarret forbade him to. The mission only went ahead the fourth time because she wasn't there to stop it.

[aruanan]

So this time that “Obama” killed Bin Laden was the time that they finally arranged that he wouldn’t be able to screw it up again for the 4th time and put operational control in the hands of someone who wouldn’t chicken out.

[KarlInOhio]

Wasn't one of his hacks on TV this weekend claiming that Obama led the raid? I guess the first three times he couldn't find his camouflage uniform and rappelling equipment for the attack.

[GlockThe Vote]

imagine that Hillary is the only adult in the room lately?

LOL!!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

So now we have a Hillary/Valerie catfight going on every day. Must suck to be Barry.

Panetta" "Mr. President, we have Osama cornered. Should we kill him?"

Obama: "Present"

[ken in texas]

Valid point. It didn’t help that Jimmy was a micro-managing bozo that thought he knew better than those plannng and conducting the op.

I think the Muslim Communist Obama had to get the okay from his buddies the Muslim Brotherhood before he could do anything..He does nothing without his friends like Soros and and the brotherhood give him the okay..

[dalebert]

oh lawd..Obamer killed Bin Laden

[GlockThe Vote]

Remember - Obama is DOMINATED by women. Im sure WoollyMamoth is also pissed off w Clinton now having to save her husband on this.

[HereInTheHeartland]

I thought it was Panetta who forced his hand?

[Hoodat]

In fairness, he might ought to have canceled it a ninth.

There was no ninth. The crash occurred during the eighth attempt after the point at which the ABORT order had been given by the President.

Who ordered the rain on bin Laden?

That Little Old Bullet-Dodger...who warn't no ways tarhed...Sir Edmund Hillary's namesake(born before anyone knew Edmund Hillary)...Hillary "Yes We Cankles!" Clinton.

[gaijin]

Same thing he did with the seal sniper yacht stand-off off the coast of Somalia.

[Nip]

Oh, but don't you know that the official history of the bin Laden raid will not be written until Hollywood releases their version this October? What else can you expect from a society that has all but abandoned meaningful education for sound bites and pulp fiction subjects.

BTW, I wonder what part the Emperor will play in this free massive reelection movie? First man up the steps? Last man out? Commander in Afghanistan? Decision maker-in-chief in Washington DC? Or, the eighth hole on a golf course?

[Popman]

There is no problem canceling an operation like this one if Intel on the ground warrants it...after all we were entering a sovereign nation who is an allied without permission Of course the real reason he canceled was because his nanny Jarret was not on board because it was too risky if it failed... Michelle must have Obama borrow her jock strap to grow a pair to make a decision

“For some reason I’m picturing Lionel Ritchie at the piano singing... “You once, twice, three times a spineless coward....””

I was thinking more along the lines of Eddie Murphy as Buh weet singing it.

Unse, tise, fee tines a fwayler.

[Publius]

This is all coming from the Clintoonians.

Correct. First the Newsweek article and now this. Team Clinton is on the march. They have two weeks to get Obama to drop out of the race and anoint Hillary as his successor.

Expect more.

They have two weeks to get Obama to drop out of the race and anoint Hillary as his successor.

Ah, you think that was what last week's WH lunch was all about? Not Hillary replacing Biden, but Hillary replacing Obama?
