Obama administration’s counterterrorism policies.
“High-level lying nonetheless remains the modus operandi of U.S. policy, along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command, and cutting out those who might say no,”...
“Obama’s speech was put together in a rush,” Hersh wrote of Obama’s announcement of Operation Neptune Spear to Americans.
“This series of self-serving and inaccurate statements would create chaos in the weeks following,” he added.
“This was not the fog of war,” Hersh quoted his anonymous source as saying.
“The fact that there was an agreement with the Pakistanis and no contingency analysis of what was to be disclosed if something went wrong – that wasn’t even discussed,” the source added.
“And once it went wrong, they had to make up a new cover story on the fly,” the source said of Obama’s advisers’ response to his speech on the raid, Hersh wrote.

Along With Saudi King, Most Gulf Rulers to Skip US Summit".
It is not just the Saudi king who will be skipping the Camp David summit of U.S. and allied Arab leaders. Most Gulf heads of state won't be there.
The absences will put a damper on talks that are designed to reassure key Arab allies, and almost certainly reflect dissatisfaction among leaders of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council with Washington's handling of Iran and what they expect to get out of the meeting.

The Saudis paid Hillary and Bill gobs of money for pay-to-play good treatment influence. They can wait until 2016.
***Never mind that women are treated like property in Saudi Arabia. Katie and Matt insist you still love and adore the Clinton family.
Apparently Obama set up this Arab Summit and the Arabs begged off. We are too busy doing the things you used to do.
It may not be an entirely bad thing to get them more involved in their own affairs.
You cant be an oil producer and not expect to get your hands dirty.
CNN is saying the Saudi King is too old to travel... or something.
Peter Berger who wrote a book on the Bin Laden take down, is on CNN saying "there is no evidence" Obama lied about the Bin Laden raid.
CNN is reporting the White House response in short... Seymour Hersh reporting contains "too many inaccuracies to check."
What kind of response is that?
You mean to tell me that Obama did not, in fact, singlehandedly sneak into Pakistan undetected, fight his way through layers and layers of top security ninjas, engage bin laden in a duel to the death, and then wing on over to London and jam with the Stones?
I have been misled, MISLED!
Now we have to decide which lie is trur.
Decisions, decisions...
