Don't know if any of you have been listening to talk radio in the last couple of days. Just happened to be listening to Lars Larsen, (sp?), yesterday and today.
It seems someone from the London Daily Mail, (must be a newspaper across the pond), has reported that our Pretender in Chief took 16 hours to make the decision to go after Bin Laden AFTER our intelligence officers indicated he was there.
Wonder how close he came to missing the SOB by being so indecisive?
One guest on the show last night, (someone in the know, can't remember his name), indicated that he wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he had been waffling on the decision to go after him for days or even weeks.
Apparently, there have been 5 cabinet meetings on this subject going back to early March.
The lame stream media is hailing his decision as
'brave' and 'gutsy'...I just wonder if we would have ever heard the whole story if our HNIC would have messed around and missed him??
Keep your ears tuned, I don't think it will be long before we hear something about this!

They've known his whereabouts for months. IMO, they were able to confirm his location and took it to Barry in March. Being like he is, he waffled and delayed until it hit him that he would look just as bad as they've tried to make Bush look for the past ten years for not finding and killing the bastard if he ended his first term without a kill. Worse yet is the likelihood that word would get out that not only had he not gotten the job done, but that he'd been made aware of where he was eighteen months before the election. It would have been a repeat of Clinton passing the guy up twice only to have him do 9-11-01 to us.
Fact is, no one is fooled. He made the decision to close the deal because the political consequences of doing nothing were likely career ending for him if word had gotten out. He is not a war hawk all of a sudden and never will be. The only thing he did right so far was stick to the Bush-Cheney plan of no forgiveness, no place to hide. Brass tacks and nutshells? Bush deserves 60% of the credit on this. Obama, at best, just happened to be in the right place at the right time to benefit off someone else's good judgment and persistence.

That sums it up well Lance.

Taking it a logical step further, would that also be Tim's fault?

Considering that t-bag knows everything and even if he doesn't he'll still say that he does I would guess that he knew about all of this as far back as a year ago......so yes.....it's tims fault!
