Here are my real thoughts.
OK, so Obama gave his seal of approval on the raid..... perhaps he did, but I would ask WHY?
I would ask this if it had been Bush too!!
Here we have the most wanted man on Earth and they had to "ask permission"?
We have lost thousands of soldiers and spent a trillion dollars on Bin Laden and you would dare waste the time to see how the President wanted to handle this.
What if he had gotten away during the intervening time would Obama come on TV and say we had him but I was on Oprah and wasn't available to make the decision so he got away?
IMO, if Edge were President the ground rules would have been spelled out after the very first security briefing at the White House.
Kill Bin Laden at the first opportunity. Preferably have an intact body, and try to minimize casualties on all sides....DONE.
