| Obama Delayed Foley Rescue Mission 30 Days |
| 2014-08-26 |
| According to a new Sunday Times report by Toby Harden, "Pentagon sources said Foley and the others might well have been rescued but Obama, concerned about the ramifications of US troops being killed or captured in Syria, took too long to authorise the mission." It's claimed that Obama was concerned about his administration being Carterized had the mission failed. Even with this revelation, the beheading of their own, liberal media will not call for impeachment. Never, ever, no matter how many people die, or how brutal the death, Dear Leader will Reign On. That is the debased, socialist gospel of the regime that rules this nation. |

| #2 but Obama, concerned about the ramifications of US troops being killed or captured in Syria, took too long to authorize the mission." Unlike the UBL Abbottabad raid, the 'fix' was not in. Anything could have gone wrong. Target surveillance is extremely time sensitive. The longer you loiter, the higher the risk of discovery. Postponing the operation 30 days allowed ISIS time to get inside our OODA loop. Fox News just announced Champ has approved aerial surveillance flights in Syria, probably tactical UAV. Syria has reportedly said "any surveillance flights must be coordinated." Ok, sounds reasonable enough, but it begs the question. Why were tactical UAV surveillance mission not coordinated with Syria prior to the attempted rescue of detained journalists? Looks like another strategic fail. |
