He OK’d the killing of those Somali pirates back in ‘09. He DID dither about it for a while, IIRC.
Yes. Yes he did finally ok that one. He never does anything unless it is politically advantageous. I wonder what he saw in that one. It would be a while before he was back in campaign mode. Maybe he actually did one good thing; even if he did 'dither'.
I heard, from an officer in the Navy, that the commanders on scene made the decision and that the boy king was really pissed.
