AP "Reports"

I watched the press conference earlier today--there were no specific orders, there were standing orders. Blackfive:

This was not a rescue attempt ordered by National Command Authority i.e. the President. It was a reaction by the on scene commander under standard authority to safeguard the life of a hostage.

The AP is reporting that President Obama gave the order to use military force to rescue the hostage, that is misleading.

Of course, how could we forget? Our President Barack Obama is the real hero. The only hero.
