After SEAL Team 6 made the successful raid and killed Osama bin Laden back in May 2011, the Obama administration didn't waste a minute touting the success.  The White House and their surrogates hit the media loop with one message: Obama made a "gutsy call."  But knowing what we know Obama, which is very little, the situation surrounding the raid was odd.  A new book claims that Obama cancelled the raid three times due to pressure from top advisor, Valerie Jarrett.

We've long thought that President Obama never made the call to kill Osama bin Laden.  It had nothing to do with his inability to kill an Islamic extremist, but rather the political fallout had it failed.  Instead, it was top military brass that cornered the President into the action.  So, why the hesitation on Obama's part?  Senior advisor, fellow Chicago thug and Iranian Valerie Jarrett.  She cared more about the political ramifications than killing al Qaeda's leader and the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on America.  

Jarrett is Obama's surrogate mother and her top focus is getting Obama re-elected.  A failed raid to get bin Laden would have brought on new issues and risks for Obama to deal with on foreign policy, an area he is not equipped to handle and has merely lucked out on.  The report says that on three occasions, Obama cancelled the attack because of Valerie Jarrett's insistence.

Here are more details from an upcoming book, Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him:

In “Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors who Decide for Him,” Richard Miniter writes that Obama canceled the mission in January 2011, again in February, and a third time in March.

Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, reportedly persuaded Obama to hold off each time, the book reveals, according to The DC. 

Miniter, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, cites an unnamed source with Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.

Obama administration officials said after the raid that the president had delayed giving the order to kill the arch-terrorist the day before the operation was carried out, in what turned out to be his fourth moment of indecision.

At the time, the White House blamed the delay on unfavorable weather conditions near bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. However, when Miniter obtained that day’s weather reports from the U.S. Air Force Combat Meteorological Center, he said, they showed ideal conditions for the SEALs to carry out their orders.

“President Obama’s greatest success was actually his greatest failure,” Miniter told The DC. “Leading From Behind,” he said, traces six key decisions of the Obama administration, and shows how the president made them, or, in many cases, failed to make them.

The president has made the assassination of Osama bin Laden a focal point in his re-election campaign, calling it one of the "gutsiest calls of any president in recent history."

The picture this paints is disturbing, but without a doubt accurate.  The Obama White House will put politics over the safety of America, which is no surprise given the extreme liberals that are running the country.
