Obama Waited a Month Before Ordering Foley Rescue Attempt

People have already made posts describing the details of the raid and the beheading of James Foley, so I won't go into detail about the facts or specifics of the events. However, it's now coming up that there was almost a 30 day delay from when they wanted to do the raid to when Obama actually gave them the green light, according to a former lieutenant-colonel in US military intelligence. The question is why did he wait so long to give the go on a rescue attempt where they knew the hostages were being moved periodically and they could have been killed at any time? Of course the American soldiers were being put into danger, but if that was a big concern then why did they make the rescue attempt at all? It's also known that Obama played a relaxing 7 rounds of golf during this 30 day period. This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it is worth mentioning.

My July post was also about Obama when he told Congress to "stop hatin' all the time" so it may seem like I'm focusing on him too much but he keeps saying or doing things that keep bringing up questions and concerns about the president of our country.
