Barack Obama cancelled three operations to kill Osama bin Laden before finally going ahead with the mission at the insistence of Hillary Clinton, according to a new book.
The explosive allegation is contained in an expose by journalist Rich Miniter, who argues that the White House’s carefully-crafted narrative of Obama as a decisive leader who dispatched the al-Qaeda leader despite the doubts of advisers is a myth.

The planning sessions went something like this . .
Operation 1: This doesn't make any sense, it says here he's already dead.
Operation 2: Where'd this come from? I thought we proved he's already dead.
Operation 3: We need a big diversion, FAST! How many Americans know he's already dead?

It was Jarrett, a long-time Chicago ally, he reports, who urged Obama to cancel the first three operations to kill bin Laden.
Richard Fernandez commented on this story a few days ago.
Valerie Jarrett is Obama's campaign manager. Jarrett has no qualifications to be the principal advisor to the president of the United States. She doesn’t understand how Washington works, how relations with Congress work, how the federal process works. She doesn’t understand how the economy works, how the military works, how national security works. But she understands how Obama works.
This is the story of the Obama administration. Obama is always running for president. He never actually is the president.
