Comment on: Maudie in Mandeville

the authorization was not to rescue him

What could O say? Any Pres would allow!

Imagine, if the straw'man Obama ordered the military to 'do nothing' and just pay the ransom? If he failed to authorize taking the kidnappers out, if necessary, he would never live it down! Only an idiot would tie the Navy seals hands. Obama is smarter then that, ha! Interesting, again the reactionary President plays it safe. Then if the end result is good he stands up to be counted, if its a bad ending, then he was far removed, uninvolved and out of the military's business! Thus, Obama doesn't lose credit.
