Actually, that plays into his hands. Hell, it's why he needed 16 HOURS to decide whether or not to go after Bin Laden.
If it does happen and it comes out okay (no attack, nobody gets hurt, sitation defused) Barry gets a victory lap and quite possibly a second term.
If it fails, he points at Panetta, et al, and says, "Hey, it was THEIR advice!" and he thinks his hands are clean.
Poor Obama, he picked one heck of time frame to become President.
It was obvious to me when he was pulled off the golf course to watch Bin Ladens take down. He looked scared to death, a what am I doing here look . He did not march into the room full of confidence, he sat in the back slumped down in his chair, a crap if this mission fails there goes my Presidency look.
Seems Someone forgot to tell him about the come as you are party everyone else knew about it and he was caught in the shower.
Strange but Obama reminds me of Frank Burns on MASH, Frank a good surgeon, Obama a good comunity fund raiser, but as a leader he is still trying to herd cats--- a train wreck.
Far as the saber rattling all over the world, Obama is really WAY out of his league. I seriously doubt any of the Brass trust him with anything but what the Public knows, he is so far out of the loop, is it any wonder Israel will not inform him of their plans??? [I bet the Pentigon knows what Isreal plans may be but are keeping it under their hats.]
We will know when there is a slow but steady Exodus of our politicians family's leaving DC to go on unplanned vacations. Word will get around in the military and our Brass will not be making long range plans to stay put.
Allot of leaves will be canceled and odd orders to the enlisted will be issued. Insane rumors will go around to cause smoke and fire so the real objective will be hidden. There is nothing like scuttle butt to cloud the waters.
Some Senior Brass will be left out of the loop, the [NTK ] need to know, will take the EGO out of some very high ups.
Very few Brass will know anything, our CIA, and all intelligence outside our military will be kept in the dark. All leaders worry about their power being taken by their military, for good reason. Any week or indecisive leader will be ushered out not so gently by their military. The allegiance is first to the country, then to the Leader.
I see how Obama is trying to weeken our military by forcing out the senior that know what they are doing ,men and woman, the less Seniors the more just the book learning folks fill their spot and the safer he is from military revolt.
Little hands on training------Yet on the other side there was the
Big complaint from EX as an instructor at NPS on Mare Island, the kids had the hands on training but had problems with the math and theory. [ this was in the time before the calculator was available, still used the side rule.]
What a mess, Obama needs to turn our experts on War loose to do their jobs, the time for talking is over.
Remember the two Japanese Ambassadors that sat in the White House to speak to our president not knowing Pearl Harbor was Bombed.
Go Isreal------get the bastards and never forget, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph was a JOOOOOOOOO.
