Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama took 16 hours to make up his mind

Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would 'sleep on it' before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden's compound. ... But the next morning after 16 hours, Obama summoned four top aides to the White House Diplomatic Room. Before they could speak, the president put his fist on the table and declared 'It's a go'. ... [He can make a fist? With the middle finger not extended? Who knew?] ... Mr Obama went straight to the Oval Office in his golf shoes, instead of to the residence as he normally does after golf.... Comedy Central host, Jon Stewart, was no less effusive on 'The Daily Show.' 'I suppose I should be expressing some ambivalence about the targeted killing of another human being. And yet - uhhhh, no!' ... [Hmmmm] ... 'How about those Navy SEALs?' said Letterman. 'They jump out of a helicopter and they break into the compound, and they fire a warning shot into his head.' [Hmmmm]
