Obama team full of doubters on bin Laden raid

Fox News:
Vice President Biden claimed Friday that Leon Panetta was the only member of the inner circle who definitively urged President Obama to green-light the raid on Usama bin Laden's compound, as Biden discussed new details about the behind-the-scenes deliberations. 

Biden, speaking to the House Democratic Issues Conference in Maryland, candidly admitted that he told the president not to go forward with the mission. Biden said at the time he thought the administration should do more to find out whether bin Laden was actually inside the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan

...
I find it stunning that there was so much hesitancy in going after this mass murderer.  Panetta seems to be the only one who understood the importance of the mission and had confidence in our special ops team that was responsible for it.   It shows you just how weak Obama's national security team is and why some of them characterized this obvious decision as a "gutsy call."  It was in fact a no brainer that Americans expect from their leaders.
