The decision to raid Osama
bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and kill him was made without President Obama
– and actually was kept from him until after the helicopters already were in
Pakistani airspace – according to a new report from a retired major general who
cites a senior intelligence source.
The raid
was handled by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Director of Central
Intelligence Leon Panetta and others in this way because Obama had vetoed
multiple earlier opportunities to attack the man behind the 9/11 terror
attacks, the report said.
The report
comes from retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely, now chairman of Stand Up America, which calls itself the standard
bearer for the conservancy of the U.S. Constitution.
The group
has briefed the FBI, Congress, law enforcement and other agencies on terrorism
and “anything that affects the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of our
citizenry and way of life.”
In a column published today by WND, Vallely
said a “senior and sensitive intelligence community source” affirmed to a Stand
Up America research team that Obama “did not know of the raid in Abbottabad to
kill Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011, until after the helicopters with SEAL Team
6 had crossed into Pakistani airspace.”
The source
said Obama was notified “at the golf course … which is why he was sitting in
the strange sitting position in the picture that documented the White House
operations room event.”
The source
told Stand Up America that Panetta “was the key player who organized and
supported this daring raid.”
“He signed
the ‘execute orders’ with only a few people aware: Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, Secretary of Defense William Gates, Adm. Bill Mullen and Gen. David
Petraeus.”
The source
explained the White House “was closed out of the decision because the
president, through Valerie Jarrett, had turned down two or three other earlier
proposals.”
Panetta,
Vallely’s source reported, “and his covert planning team were extremely
frustrated at all the denials, so saw the opportunity slipping away, as
implausible as it seems.”
The report
said Panetta convinced his other principals to make the decision and received
their full-fledged support but the president, according to the official,
“remained clueless on the mission.”
“This
tremendously serious and sensitive information was relayed by a source who has
been very frustrated with the continued dishonesty within the White House,”
Vallely reported.
Vallely,
who served in Vietnam and retired in 1991 from the U.S. Army as deputy
commanding general for the Pacific, previously has called for “We the People”
to stop the nation’s “progressive socialist, treasonous death march.”
He
graduated from West Point and was commissioned in the Army in 1961. He served
in theaters in Europe and the Pacific Rim and saw two tours of combat duty in
Vietnam.
CBS has reported that
“Obama’s decision to send operatives after Osama bin Laden” was described by
White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan as “one of the most gutsiest
calls of any president.”
However, the Mail Online in London reported a
book by Richared Miniter documented that three “kill” missions were canceled by
Obama in January, February and March of 2011.
The SEAL
mission was in May 2011.
Miniter
reported it was Jarrett who kept urging Obama to cancel plans to get bin Laden.
The Ulsterman Report blog earlier
said Obama did not make the attack decision.
That blog
said, “He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are
inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to
speak out against the commander-in-chief so his secret is safe.”
