Fake Wingnut Outrage of the Day: Obama Canceled Bin Laden Raid! Gasp!

The flip side of the argument that the right was making that he had nothing to do with the process - he was micro managing to the point of canceling the raid on multiple occasions.

[facepalm]

And it ignores that President Obama green lit the raid that did kill OBL.

Let’s repeat that for good measure - even if the President shut down prior attempts at a raid, he green lit the one that did take out OBL. Maybe it was working on more solid intel. Maybe they wanted to maximize the chances for success once they narrowed down where OBL was located. Maybe they wanted to maximize the training for the team that got OBL.

Whatever it was, the end result is that OBL was killed on the President’s watch. The GOP can’t seem to abide by that simple inalienable fact.
