Obama Took 16 Hours To Make The Decision On OBL
Information continues to flow out concerning the mission. Some of it strangely conflicting with a story one day and another story the next. But, there has been one piece of information released that I find somewhat disturbing. We’ve been on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden for over a decade. And even while that amount of time has elapsed it has continued to be on the forefront of everyone’s mind. However, news is coming out that once Osama Bin Laden was discovered and his location verified, it took Obama 16 hours to make up his mind on what to do.
Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would ‘sleep on it’ before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden’s compound.
Hit squads of specialist Navy Seals – who were not even told who they were preparing to capture – had practised the mission at two reconstructions of the terror chiefs sprawling compound.
The mission looked set to be given the all clear last Thursday when analysts confirmed beyond doubt that Bin Laden was in busy town of Abbottabad in northern Pakistan.
But the president stunned officials when he told a national security meeting that he wanted more time to think – and disappeared out of the room.
‘I’m not going to tell you what my decision is now – I’m going to go back and think about it some more,’ said Obama, according to the New York Times. He then added ‘I’m going to make a decision soon.’
The head of the CIA and other senior intelligence officers who were keen to proceed were left tense as they waited for the president’s decision.
But the next morning after 16 hours, Obama summoned four top aides to the White House Diplomatic Room. Before they could speak, the president put his fist on the table and declared ‘It’s a go’.
While some of his supporters would argue that they appreciate a President who doesn’t make rash decisions and decides to sleep on something this crucial, I have to ask the obvious. Haven’t we been sleeping on it for 10 years? It was necessary to take 16 hours for a no-brainer? Wouldn’t this be something that a strong Commander in Chief would have already planned for mentally and be ready to take decisive action on immediately? Shouldn’t he have already weighed and determined the consequences of each and every possible scenario? It doesn’t bode well for his reputation as being indecisive when it comes to heavy-hitting decisions.
Other points to consider from Ace of Spades:
George Bush was relentlessly mocked for waiting seven minutes (actually waiting for his security detail to ready the exit and for his vehicle to be readied) before leaving the school he was visiting. He calmly finished reading My Pet Goat for the kids before going to his now-ready helicopter.
On the other hand, after Obama was told (most likely for the fifteenth time) that the CIA was really, really, really quite confident that Osama bin Ladin was at that compound in Abbottabad, he decided he needed to sleep on it.
Sixteen hours later (hours during which Osama might have fled– bear in mind, his courier’s name had just been outed by WikiLeaks), he made up his mind.
Maybe he was hoping to get a round of golf in first…or…maybe he was just hoping it would be too late…
