Pentagon official claims Barack Obama delayed James Foley rescue mission by 30 days
After James Foley was beheaded by ISIS, and in an attempt to save face, Barack Obama revealed, in what John Bolton called a stunning breach of security, that United States special forces attempted an unsuccessful rescue mission to save the doomed reporter.
Barack Obama was facing heat in the mainstream media for going golfing immediately following making a statement on James Foley so, in my opinion, he decided to make it known to the public that special forces had tried to rescue James Foley to show that he did everything in his power to prevent this even though it did not prevent him from missing his tee time.
Here is part of what the White House had to say about the unsuccessful attempt to save James Foley:
The White House said in a statement on the attempted rescue that the “hostages were in danger with each passing day.”
There is no denying that this was true so why, if this story is true, did Barack Obama delay the rescue mission by 30 days according to a top level Pentagon official?
Toby Harnden, a reporter at The Sunday Times, tweeted Friday that a senior Pentagon official confirmed that Obama’s “hesitation” delayed the failed mission, which took place July 4.
Harnden reported earlier this week that Obama took almost 30 days to approve the mission, according to Anthony Shaffer, a former lieutenant-colonel in U.S. military intelligence.
“I’m told it was almost a 30-day delay from when they said they wanted to go to when he finally gave the green light,” Shaffer told Harnden. “They were ready to go in June to grab [Foley] and they weren’t permitted.”
If Barack Obama had not delayed this decision there is no guarantee that the mission would have been successful but that is not the point of this post.
The White House claimed that a move was made to save James Foley because each passing day put the lives of hostages in more danger, this was the same reasoning used to defend Barack Obama’s decision to trade five Taliban leaders for Bowe Berdahl. Yet in the latter case the president acted swiftly while breaking the law by not notifying the Congress beforehand, and in the former case he had no problem delaying the rescue attempt by one month.
Why is that? Something is not right here…

Wait. Are you suggesting that Barry needed time to contact his friends first? Oh. I see. That’s not what you’re suggesting. My mistake. 🙂

Kudos to eat fink Joe Biden for not announcing and publishing the names of the special ops guys who took part.

Time to shut off that predictive text! Thankfully the regime did not mention who was involved in this attempt or we would have seen another Extortion 17.

It seems obvious to me that we’re long past the time for impeachment. Who’d we get? Biden? That’d be better than a traitor, but we can’t do it yet – gotta have control of the Senate, right?
Thing is, Impeachment isn’t the right solution — in my not-so-humble-opinion, he needs to be in prison … or … all the comments I feel I need to make would possibly bring a knock on my door.

Since they all seem to just follow the orders of the global leaders, it doesn’t seem to matter who’s the ‘spokes person’ for them. It’s more of which person the public can stomach or allow without uprising and restoring the original foundation.
The delay of rescuing Foley has the same ‘thumbprint’ of Benghazi. Even the vid has been proven ‘staged’. All these ‘events’ used to manipulate the masses – emotionally (which doesn’t involve reasoning as much as ‘reaction based on faulty information’). Again, hyping people up for war against the enemy – while the Trojan Rainbow horse resides in the white house ‘dreaming’ reality.
