So much for that “gutsy call.”

We already knew that it took Barack Obama 16 hours to make the call to go after Bin Laden at his hideout in Pakistan.
But, now we know, it took much longer than that.
Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions, before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission.
Israel National News reported:
According to a new book, President Obama canceled operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions, due to instructions of aide
At the urging of senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission, according to a new book scheduled for release August 21, The Daily Caller (DC) reported.
In “Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors who Decide for Him,” Richard Miniter writes that Obama canceled the mission in January 2011, again in February, and a third time in March.
Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, reportedly persuaded Obama to hold off each time, the book reveals, according to The DC.
Miniter, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, cites an unnamed source with Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.
Obama administration officials said after the raid that the president had delayed giving the order to kill the arch-terrorist the day before the operation was carried out, in what turned out to be his fourth moment of indecision.
In other words, it took Barack Obama months to make the same decision that a six year-old could make in minutes. Obama’s obviously not quite the hero the media wants to make him out to be. How pathetic.
