CIA memo reveals Admiral McRaven, not Obama, controlled Bin Laden mission. “The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven… the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus.” Well, only if they couldn’t pin it on George Bush.

Obama did'nt have much to do with this operation. The Admiral & Leon Panetta should get the credit. They pulled Obama off the golf course & kept Valerie Jarrett out of the loop, that's how this operation got the go-ahead & worked.
The thing to remember is this. The only branch of the military that takes orders from the president is the marines. All other branches get their orders from the pentagon.
you make me sad.
I would think since the President is the Commander-In-Chief that they all take their orders from him regardless of what service branch or unit.
Well the US Army Greeen Beret Special; Forces take their orders directly from the president of the USA. That branch was specifcally creatyed by JFK to sort of be the Presidents 911.
Rick: They still have a chain of command, so your assessment, though technically correct, leads one to the impression that the President commands the SFG first hand. this isn't the case as far as I know. If you have better info. i'm not opposed to reviewing it. :D
Amazing how Libtards continue to spew the MSM talking points without actually doing a little research (away from the MSM) to get the real facts about a story. You could smack them in the face w/a baseball bat full of facts and they still wouldn't believe you. Ignorant dipsh*%s.
let's just use a bat full of wood, or aluminuminuminum then, since it'd be much more gratifying.
keep drinkin' the Glennbeckistan Kool-Aid, freaks; you loons simply can't handle the fact that Obama iced Bin Laden while your guy, Full-Bush, couldn't get it done. However, Bush did manage to get 3,000 American civilians killed, the Twin Towers dropped, and The Pentagon hit. Oh, then there was Colin Powell's slam-dunk UN cartoon show, WMD, Al-Qaeda links, $20bbl oil, hailed as victors, Iraq oil paying for the war, and Abu Gharib. Yeah, Full-Bush and five-deferment Dick-Head Cheney, like Mullah Mitt, would never fight, never send their kids to fight, but send everyone else's kids to fight a worthless Iraq war.
spoken like a true syphilitic.
Barry or Bush, it doesn't matter. The President has little or nothing to do with the physical activity. The search was begun by George Bush and continued by Barry, but the real planning and action was performed by men that George respects and Barry despises, so taking credit for leading these men is abhorrent.
As for the rest of your incoherent rant, the only thing I can say is, you need to lay off the LSD and the Leftist c*ck for a few days.
Fast And Furious: a perfect description of Sheriff Paul "rump raider" Babeau's use of your sphincter; be careful when you spread your illegal alien-tainted HIV to your Right Wing Nutt Buddies.
Not so-you win. Here's my five bucks. It was indeed Mitch $$$$$
How'd you get five bucks after getting whacked by the Clinton bubble? Oh, I forgot: Socialist Security.
toids.
This tard can't even come up with intelligent insults. What a loser.
Bitch Poops,
If you were any more stupid, you would have to pay someone to remind you to breathe.
Is it not a safe bet that if the mission had failed, that mister zero would have taken zero responsibility?
Quick someone call Rahmn in Chicago he'll get this straightened out.
“The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven..."
You Jest!
Are you trying to tell me that Barry was a spectator only?
Are you saying that Mr. Affirmative Action would take credit for someone else's work?
I would have never guessed that the Marxist Child King would claim to be one thing, when he was actually something else.
I refuse to believe it. That's just the Rightwing Extremists attempting to belittle our Savior.
"Dear Leader" waited 3 days because he needed permission from Slick Willy to do something Clinton should have done 12 years ago.
It's getting closer to twenty than itis to twelve years ago, remember the first world trade center bombing was in 1993.
But Clinton didn't have the opportunity to take Bin Laden into custody for it until he was president. Which of course, he decided not to do.
I'm surprised Obama hasn't either taken credit for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or blamed George Bush for it.
Hey pj speaking of taking credit, look what the shameless b@st@rds are doing now;

And while I have some serious issues with McCain, check out the pull quote “Shamelessly turning the one decision he got right into a pathetic political act of self-congratulation,”(that he had to be dragged to kicking and screaming re this thread) from his awesome response.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/mccain-goes-nuclear-shame-on-barack-obama
authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.”
Then by his own testimony his order failed, laden wasn't brought to Justice, Justice was taken to laden.
That's because no-one has told him if he likes that bombing or not yet. He's still waiting for Jarrett, Mooch-elle or Soros to say go ahead boy you can support that one.
The only mission Obama was ever in control of was Mission Viejo, CA during the 2008 presidential election.
Mission Viejo voted for the twerp? I always thought that was a more conservative enclave.
I don't know. It was the best line I could come up with in a pinch.
To talk to people, no one in the US voted for Obama, so who knows?
