Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States. There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the situation room

Author Note: The writer of this blog personally has high suspicions IF our President even KNEW of this attack was taking place in the first place! Furthermore, this author believes that it may have been ordered WITHOUT his permission by members of his cabinet, military or other associates. When the President was finally convinced that the "mission" was a success, he took the full credit and declared it was "HIS" order to do so! That may indeed explain why so very, very much information coming forth is confusing so many!

Again, after the first time I heard it from a reliable source, not only the links prove it to be true, but the blogs written above show yet again, Panetta made the order, not Obama.
