    So you edited your prior erroneous post to indicate that you were not in fact wrong when you were, in fact, wrong?

    I have to stop this. I cannot believe that I am actually trying to engage in a logical conversation with someone who would take this approach.


    Forget it. Your position in unworthy and I will no longer participate in it.

    I knew something was up since NATO wasn't involved and no waiting on a UN resolution. This operation was clearly not the President's MO.

    Are you kidding? I was going by memory and double checked the date and had already edited it before you actually posted. What are you arguing about?

    If the president had rushed the deal and failure occurred then it would have been Obama the neophyte screwing up while attempting to bump up his poll numbers or some such.

    Mother er. The president made the right call, a gutsy call, and administered justice to public enemy #1. And to dumping his corpse in the middle of the ing ocean.

    I prefaced the whole thing that it was an "un-named source" but they aren't ALWAYS wrong...remember "Deepthroat"? It brought down a Presidency and the source wasn't named for 31 years..
    And a broken clock is right twice a day. Doesn't mean they're something to keep time by.

    Why do you think it wasn't a gutsy call? Can you imagine the blowback if this had failed? If the intel was wrong? If Pakistan caught us? etc etc.

    I'd take any comments by unnamed "insiders" with a factory full of salt.
    I don't recall that being your normal take...

    Some of it depends on how the evidence corroborates. In this case, I'd say, not very well.

    Was there a time when I supported what an unnamed source said recently?

    Here's a more plausible reason why the administration had to act when it did...

    Guilty as charged. I am pre-disposed to believe it and you are pre-disposed to deny it. It's all good. This almost feels like a Clinton ambush. If THATS true we will certainly be hearing more about it...
    Well, honestly, after having read the peice it certainly seems that it was written by someone with some in-depth knowledge of the people involved.

    That goes a way towards some credibility. That is not to say that there have never been well-written fakes like this though. I have seen one or two.

    That said, I would actually agree that this sounds credible. It seems that the primary resisting force for acting in this case was one of Obama's advisors, who has apparently been effectively eliminated in a political/influence sense.

    Here it seems that, once again, a president is vulnerable to the advice that he gets. In the first Bush administration, I have little doubt that Bush's bubble was responsible for most of the that irritated me about his administration, as well as the total -up that was the post-war occupation of Iraq.

    This is an interesting account, and not all that flattering of Obama.

    Still doesn't make me regret for a second voting for him over McCain/Palin. (shudders)

    I can live with a learning curve for presidents. Even Bush found his ground towards the end.

    CC, it's just hard to believe an unnamed source when they are as obviously biased as this guy is.
    Biased, yes. I think the account probably deliberately paints a somewhat less flattering picture of Obama.

    It is, though, well-written with careful attention to detail that is hard to fake or 100% make up.

    I strongly suspect the author/source is collecting notes for a "tell all" book in a few years. We will get the iden y at some point.
