"The Reluctant Assassination of Osama"

By Roger L. Simon

"The New York Times, quoting administration sources, says the president was in control and fully committed to the Osama bin Laden assassination. I am more skeptical.

Did Barack Obama really want to assassinate Osama bin Laden? He probably did at some point, because he gave the ultimate order, or allowed it to happen. But I suspect the president was deeply ambivalent."

There will be information coming out about this for weeks and months to come... and more and more it begs the question: Who was in charge at the White House for this 'kill'?
