SEALS forced to abort rescue of hostages because Obama too busy on vacation to approve mission

[Clementine]

They were ready to move in and rescue two hostages. Obama was on vacation again and didn't have time to approve the mission. He found time the next day but, by then, the hostages had been moved. I wonder how the families feel knowing their loved ones weren't more important to our president than another round of golf. He found the time to rescue that Muslim deserter and he found time to rescue some others when it meant sending a bunch of cash to Iraq. Hillary already proved that she'd been the same way.

"A group of Navy SEALS were forced to return from a hostage rescue mission in Afghanistan after President Barack Obama failed to approve their operation while he was on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard.


According to sources speaking to Ami Newswire, the special operations force traveled swiftly to recover two hostages, but were ordered to stand down because Obama did not have time to approve the mission.

Obama approved the mission a day later, but when the special forces team returned, the hostages had been moved just four hours earlier, according to the report.

The two civilian hostages are English teachers: United States citizen Kevin King and Australian citizen Timothy Weeks.

Details of the aborted mission were first reported by Fox News followed up by the Washington Post. Ami Newswire also interviewed sources with additional details about the mission.


Administration officials have offered additional details citing various layers of bureaucracy, but the mission still failed.

The missions took place Aug. 10 and 11, in Afghanistan, according to Ami Newswire, both days that Obama spent a large part of the day golfing in Martha’s Vineyard.

On August 10, Obama golfed from 10:30 a.m. – 3:19 p.m. at Vineyard Golf Club and on August 11, Obama golfed from 12:57 p.m. – 5:39 p.m at Mink Meadows Golf Course according to White House pool reports."

Actually, the mission was a failure because the subjects were not at the location.

Par three.

What kind of moron actually believes that SEALS go airborne for a mission that hasn't yet been approved? They didn't turn around because Obama didn't approve the mission. They were ordered to abort, because intelligence reports couldn't confirm pertinent details about where the hostages were.

They were ready to move in and rescue two hostages. Obama was on vacation again and didn't have time to approve the mission.

Like everything from the worthless America-hating lying scum on the Right, this is a complete lie.

From the FOX News link in the OP;

"The initial mission was cancelled because the intelligence was not completely firm and there was not consensus among different government agencies, which prevented the White House from granting approval, one official told Fox News."
