“Just one word....GO! He opted out, why?
My guess: Valerie Jarrett.”
Was not she the one who advised against getting Bin Laden? If I remember correctly it took 3 tries to get the OK for Bin Laden or was it Panetta who made the decision?
That's the story -- Jarrett kept vetoing it and Obama kept vacillating. Finally, as I recall it, Panetta and Hillary gave the go ahead. We don't know for sure, though.
Whatever the truth might be, it's apparent that this man isn't given to making decisions. Particularly good ones...
