re: #110 avanti

Need help finding a link debunking a e-mail I received about Obama talking 16 hours to make up his mind about the SEAL mission. The story starts with the normal, BS Daily Mail, and they reference the NYT, but provide no link.

16 hours after 10 years of intelligence gathering. As I understand it there was no reason to think he was there for a short visit only.

Are you old enough to remember Carter’s Iran? A pilot mistake caused a ground collission between two aircraft on a desert strip in Iran. Killing several and aborting the mission. It was really the end of Carter’s presidency, and it was pilot error.

This operation could have been very similar. I don’t buy mechanical failure. A pilot made a mistake that resulted in a hard landing in the compound. It could have killed all on board and we could have had a Carter all over again.

Do you think Obama didn’t know that, let alone the possibility of no UBL in the compound?
