The Definition of Incompetence… Team O Releases Version 29 on Osama Raid
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 7, 2011, 7:45 PM
Good Grief…
We now have 29 different versions of the Osama Bin Laden raid in Abbottabad by the Obama Administration.
1 through 26 are here. 28 is here.
This was number 27…
The head of the CIA admitted this week that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.
Number 28 was when the White House goofed on their messaging all week but they did get the photos they wanted…they were staged.
Now this:
The White House released this photo of the security team watching the raid on the Osama compound in Abbottabad. Now we know the feed was not working.
(White House website)
But now Bob Woodward of Cheney assassination squad fame claims that the cameras were rolling the whole time.
So which was it?
Who are you going to believe? What incompetence.

This is what amateurs do. The all yodel and seek fame and face time on camera. Who is in charge here? Obama isn’t a leader in any sense of the word. He can’t choose between paper or plastic at the grocery store. Name one person in the upper echelon of the Admin who has any EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE at any level. This is absurd. This whole episode indicates that Obama is not competent to be Commander in Chief. He was aware of this for MONTHS. He had MONTHS to get his team together and be professional. Instead he had to SLEEP ON IT, when the 3am phone call came.
Every day, Obama sinks deeper into the cesspool of his own making.

Sasja, great quote. Sir Walter Scott!!! Sir Edmund Rodham Hillary is a pathological liar. Her massive ego needs to be fed and fed and fed. As the SEALS….”CORKSCREWED” into Bin Laden’s lavish sh!t hole, RodHAM, and the rest of the frauds were riveted to the LIVE STREAMING FEED!!! When the truth came out RodHAM, had to LIE. It is 100% natural to her, she lies as easily as she breaths. SHE WASN’T RIVETED!! All the rest were phonies. SHE…had an ALLERGY!!! She has lied with impunity without consequence for so long, that she thinks we are all stupid. I cannot stand Opie the dimwit, but this isn’t a cover up. It is the complete illustration of what happens when the LEADER is not a LEADER and his MINIONS are SYCCOPHANTS and not LEADERS either. Obama picked, LIBTARD YES MEN, because he cannot allow ANYONE to question him. He picked WEAK STAFF members………………………ON PURPOSE.

To begin with, that is not even a picture of the Situation Room. Here is the real Situation Room.
http://www.whitehousemuseum.org/west-wing/situation-room/situation-room-2007-ribbon-cutting.jpg
The room picture is a small meeting room off the actual Situation Room. Which brings up a question: if Obama knew that this was going down, why did he not have all those people meet in the actual Situation room? Why have them meet in a room off to the side? And since when does the President not sit in a place of respect, instead, sitting off to the side like a bystander? Could it be because the mission had already started when Obama was pulled off the golf course and he was late to the party? Why yes, that could be it.
Don’t expect to get the truth from this administration because it ain’t gonna happen. And Woodward is an idiot resting on his laurals from taking down a sitting President decades ago.
gus commented:
USMC Thomas. Obama is in charge. He’s always in charge. He is incompetent, but HE WON!!! He is a MASTER of ALL TRADES. He’s never so much as led a one man parade, but he is in charge of everything. INCLUDING THE MARINE CORPS.
BTW. Semper Fi Thomas, my nephew FOX CO. 2/24 was wounded in Iraq. He’s fine.
Thomas, if you were made the Manager of the NEW YORK YANKEES, the smartest thing you could do (if you were truly intelligent), would be to FIND, someone more knowledgable and experienced than YOU, to be your de-facto Manager. Obama on the other hand, DOES NOT KNOW, WHAT HE DOES NOT KNOW. His EGO is bigger than his I.Q. Cutting to the chase.
WHO IN THAT PICTURE IS A LEADER?
WHO IN THAT PICTURE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE and SUCCESS, as an EXECUTIVE or DECISION MAKER??
Biden? Rodham?? Daley?? Seriously?? This is the BRAIN TRUST of the UNITED STATES????
Holy shyte. We are screwered.

#12 …black pizza deliveryman… it took me about two beats to realize who you were writing about. That is exactly what he looks like. Janitor also comes to mind. Is that really what he wears on the golf course? Maybe a few of the men who were on this raid know what happened and where and to whom, but I am of the opinion that it possibly didn’t happen and the “black pizza deliveryman” was tanking in the polls and needed a lift. Getting bin Laden did the lift, but was it real? At this point I really don’t care.
retire05 commented:
Woodward is an idiot. (but then, I repeat myself) He makes it sound like the losers in the White House sat an watched as a Navy SEAL laided down by ObL to measure him. That is not the case. Catherine Harris reported yesterday that the press was told that in a presser yesterday because of an after action report.
How the media will spin to protect the man who is fulfilling all their socialist dreams.

Since Eric Holder is prosecuting the CIA Interrogators that made all this possible, and Odrama Queen is adamantly standing by THAT Prosecution – it seems abundantly clear that what got the job done would be highly approved by the American People, and the former Bush Administration, and also the Reagan Administration – but NOT WITH LIBERAL VOTERS! NOT with HUGO CHAVEZ. NOT with Odrama Queen’s Muslim Brotherhood COMPADRES such as Imam Fiesal Rauf, and Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn, et al, etc.
gus commented:
retire05. Obama knew for MONTHS that this was going to “go down”, he is reported to have needed to “sleep on it” before making a decision that should have already been made months earlier. Then he went GOLFING. SERIOUSLY. When he knew the sh!t was going to hit the fan. When he KNEW we were going to KILL BIN LADEN, he didn’t convene his Cabinet or Security team. He didn’t sit down with the BIG PLAYERS. Panetta, Patreaus, Gates, Rodham, Biden, Carney (the carnival Barker), Pelosi, Reid, Brennan, Jarrett, Rice and others.
THE PRIX WENT GOLFING. HE WENT GOLFING. When our country was about to violate Pakistan’s sovereignty. When we were going to put SEALS in a dangerous position, when we were going to use a CLASSIFIED, SECRET HELICOPTER.
OBAMA WENT GOLFING….
Chippy commented:
Lil barry was playing golf on that Sunday. He left abruptly after nine holes at 2PM according to reporter’s tweets. If this was a big deal why was he golfing on the day of the raid? He was out of the loop entirely. This is why he is sulking in the photo above.

retire05 commented:
gus, I know. I believe that this was a mini-coup by those who were really running the show: Clinton, Panetta, Gates, Petraeus. Can you imagine the political damage if Obama had managed to call the mission off and it just “happened” to leak that he had the chance to kill ObL and didn’t take it? He wouldn’t get 7 votes in 2012. He would probably be facing impeachment charges.
But he is in his golf clothes. I would like to know what time he left the golf course. That would make it fit.
Here is what I do know: the SEALs had to fly from Bagram to Abattabad. Abattabad is approx. 65 miles NW of Islamabad. So let’s say that is roughly 200 miles (give or take 30). And considering that they were probably flying low, at about 100 mph, you can assume a two hour flight. Now, the story is that the breach of the compound was at 3:30 p.m. EST and they were there 40 minutes. That means they left Bagram around 1:30 around the same time Obama was on the course. Now it came out today that the SEALS did not return until midnight EST, but that has to be wrong. Is it another spin on the story. That would mean that it took them from 4:15 p.m. EST to 12:00 a.m., EST to get back to Bagram. That’s almost 8 freaking hours. No way. Not to go just 200 miles in a UH-60. I would say that midnight was when ObL’s body wound up on ship, being prepared to feed the fishes.

OK, to my timeline: the LA Times reported that by 1:10 a.m., May 2, Osama’s body was being perpared for his deep six. That means that the SEALs had left Abattabad, flew back to Bagram, from there ObL’s body was take to the ship and just one hour after midnight, was being prepared for his dunking. By then, face recognition was taken, DNA was taken, and all of that takes some time.
Is there anything coming out of this administration we can trust? And what time did Obama leave the golf course?
Joanne commented:
I don’t really think it was so much incompetence, but more like lying and covering up of the truth that leaked. Obama won’t even release pictures of Osama, so I doubt very much he wants people to ask for the videos to be released. Those people in that picture are watching something – and I doubt Hillary is contemplating stifling a sneeze.
samwise commented:
I believe they are watching the original version of Night of the Living Dead. All the people I have seen watching it look that way.

Just look at the names under the caption of the picture – I somehow doubt those people were gathered for some small matter.
retire05 commented:
StrangernFiction, thanks, I had not seen that article. That upholds my premise that this is one cold bastard that could play golf while 24 Navy SEALs were going into the belly of the beast. That also explains why the group was not in THE situation room. Only the president can order the use of that room, and he didn’t, so the group met in a side room. He was late to the game.
Wow! Obama really cares about our troops, doesn’t he? He fancies himself the new FDR. Did he think that FDR was drinking toddies with his buddies while our troops landed at Normandy?
So why all the different stories coming out of the White House? Obama had the initial after action reports by the time he addressed the nation.

Or could this administration actually be this stupid? They seem to be devolving to high school sophomores if this is not a diversion and we are in serious trouble.
ipso Facto commented:
A competent administration would have simply said that OBL was killed in a covert mission that took place in Pakistan – PERIOD!
That they gave out detailed information about how many troops went in, what type of helicopters they used, how things went down, is absolute stupidity. Now, every bad guy we are looking for will move into a high density urban setting and take up residence in basement apartments complete with elaborate escape tunnels.
What were they thinking by divulging the detailed means, methods and procedures through which we carry out such operations? I cannot comprehend one benefit they expected to derive from this except to further elevate Obama in the eyes of the public. Shameless!
retire05 commented:
mutaman, you idiot. We got Saddam (or at least the 4th ID did) and we got Kalid Sheikh Mohammed, the real mastermind of 9-11. Oh, but you knew that, didn’t you? You knew that KSM’s nephew was Mohammed Atta, and it was KSM that planned the 9-11 operation with Osama only being the bag man. Yeah, you are one informed dude. Bet that is why you vote for the Democrats.

… and here I thought “we got Osama”
Now we find out that not only did Obama make the decision to raid Pakistan, but he flew the helicopter, shot everybody in the compound, personally ripped the heart of of bin Laden with his bare hands, carried the dead body of bin Laden in one arm while he first ran then swam to the USS Carl Vinson, and finally personally prepared the body for burial at sea drawing on his boyhood experience in a Muslim country. And all of this while getting in 9 holes of golf.
Obviously, there are just too damn many folks drawing a paycheck from the federal government who are doing nothing, while Obama is doing it all. I suggest that we layoff 20% of all federal employees while doubling .. no .. quadrupling the Obama’s paycheck .. because obviously he is worth it all.

Given that among the most elite of Progressives, “perception is reality,” then viewing a blank screen would have been the most “fair”.

If Obama ordered the kill mission and sat there and watched it, it won’t be long before crackpot countries like, say, all of western Europe, announce that they will arrest Obama for murder if he steps foot in their jurisdiction.
But the Regime is too incompetent to have thought all of this through and was much to eager to take credit and get a bump in the polls instead.

The usurper in the WH has staged this show of ‘Osama Kill’ and that show of new ‘COLB’ for his agenda to rule over America:
“You stupid ‘We the people’ are to only hear what I’d tell you and see what I’d let you see; thus you’ll get used to it and in another five and a half years you’ll be fundamentally converted to have full faith in me instead of God.”
The usurper looks down from his nose on his 300 million slaves-to-be that his plot is working very well because no public mass media or elected official has dared to challenge the usurper openly just by following up on so many obvious fraudulences that have already been pointed out by patriotic civilian websites.
America is doomed if the ‘birth-gate’ and the ‘Osama-gate’ of Obama’s are not exposed and tried in the court of law in the next 12 months.
Moshe Sharon commented:
It’s difficult to believe that Obama would be stupid enough to take credit for Osama’s death unless he had absolute knowledge of Osama’s demise or he had total control over him in a secret place of detention. Nonetheless, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that the whole thing about Obama giving the order to take out Osama was a farce. Most likely Osama was already on a slab waiting to be picked up by our guys. The fact is that nine years ago Osama fled Afghanistan into Pakistan and has been hiding there successfully ever since. Our government couldn’t find him until the Osama’s henchmen gave up his body after he died of natural causes. How embarrassing is that? The DNA bubbamises is a feeble attempt to divert attention from the real story that Osama’s people made a deal to hand over his body for the 25 million dollar reward and other considerations. Obama needed the drama because his approval ratings have been in the toilet so he staged the phony raid after receiving proof that the carcass was really Osama’s. Getting rid of the body in quick time, claiming to have DNA verification, announcing that there are classified video footage and photographs and then refusing to show this so-called evidence all leads me to conclude that if they had Osama’s body it was already decomposed to the extent that everyone could see that Osama had been dead for much more than a couple of hours.

Actually, HRC said she didn’t want to cough afraid she would cough over a “Panetta” update.
I don’t recall them ever saying they were watching a “real time” feed. They said, they were receiving “real time” updates. Panetta’s voice was receiving updates. It was his mission.
Take it for what it’s worth, but there is a “source” out there that is saying, this wasn’t Obama’s call. It was Panetta’s. The source essentially says. . .Obama (Jarrett) were dithering and wouldn’t make a decision. Obama was too concerned about another “black hawk down” scenario and destroying his re-election chances. (Jarrett constantly advising Obama not to do it.)
Remember, this is a “source” saying this. It’s just rumor. Well, Panetta warned Obama it would eventually get out that there was a chance to get UBL, and Obama passed on it. Panetta suggested the mission go ahead, and apparently Obama/Jarrett had said “it’s on your head if you do this.” Now, they thought that would “stall” the operation. But Panetta was fine with that – spoke the HRC and Daley – they said they would support his decision – Pannetta asked one more time for presidential approval, and Jarrett refused to give it.
This is supposedly the “16 hour lag” that Obama claims he needed to sleep on it. It was a tug of war between the WH/Jarrett and Panetta/military.
So, Panetta, with HRC, Gates, Daley, etc., decided they would go ahead with the mission, without Obama’s approval. They would assume the risk themselves.
There’s your “16 hour lag” that Obama brags about being “deliberative” and thoughtful.
This accounting goes a looooooooong way to explaining why Obama was “golfing” on the day of a big mission. He didn’t know it was going forward. He thought it was stalled.
Would any president go golfing on the day of a big mission, such a risky and secret mission, based on presidential approval? Of course not.
Obama went golfing, thinking nothing was going on yet. And probably got the word “Yo, buddy. You may wanna get back. Operation Geronimo was launched.”
That explains Obama’s golfing, the strange seat he has in the room, like he came in late, the odd behavior before the mission – why he would be golfing – the fact they can’t get a single aspect correct of what happened.
This scenario explains just about every correction/recant/retraction. Obama didn’t make the call. Panetta did. Obama/Jarrett thought they had stalled the decision by saying it was on Panetta’s head. . . .and he went ahead without them then.
So Obama was left playing catch up.
Story also goes that Jarrett was furious when she found out the mission had been launched, running around demanding to know who approved the go ahead. Apparently she and Obama even tried to get the mission aborted.
Also noted, she was no where to be seen the next day.
Just rumor. . .but it does explain the odd series of events and how the whitehouse has botched everything after the fact. . .trying to make up a story line that fits the events that the public saw. . . . .
No One Important commented:
And for the record – I don’t doubt the SEALs killed Osama.
I wouldn’t doubt their word for a moment.
But as I noted above, the goofiness of Obama’s whitehouse amateur hour with the stories, the ridiculousness of taking 16 hours to make a decision (assuming his story is correct). . . . that’s insane if it took him 16 hours to make a decision.
But you see, Obama has to make up “something” to fill that gap because the details/timing of the operation were being fed to the media. Obama wasn’t going to come out of this looking good if he didn’t make up something about why there was a 16 hour “gap”. . . . .otherwise, the public would get the correct story. . . .
Obama was dithering. He wouldnt’ give the go ahead. . . . .and thaaaaaaaaaaat’s not a story line Obama wanted out there.
So he made up a story about “deliberative” thoughts, and “sleeping on it”. . . .heavily weighing the decision. . . . .when in fact it makes more sense that Obama/Jarrett woudln’t give the go ahead. . . .and Panetta moved forward without him. . .and Obama was left playing catch up. . .trying to explain the fact he was at a “roast” ceremony the nite before, golfing the next day. . . .
That’s not someone being deliberative. . . .that’s someone who is “out of the loop” and has no idea what is going on. . . . .
No One Important commented:
Think about that part. You’ve got toooooooo many people in the military who would give “timelines” of actions.
It takes a lot of assets to be put in place for an operation like this. There isn’t any way you’re going to get all of those people to be quiet if you’ve got a “dithering” Obama.
So Obama had to make up a story about a “16 hour” decision time frame. It was the only thing he could do. Otherwise, the only explanation is a “dithering” Obama who wouldn’t give the go ahead.
If it took him 16 hours to make a decision – that is one horrendous idiot president. Geezuz. . .what a terrible commander.
But that’s the “only” thing he was left with – otherwise, the only explanation was – he wouldn’t make the call.
