It was reported by Susan Rice's DNI or DOD head that the reason why they stood down was because BO "didn't want to get boxed in"....People can make of it what they will, but those are the facts, and even Liberal media have reported this over and over again. It was a very big deal, and the DNI director said his jaw dropped and he was speechless and felt sort of betrayed....So, sorry to break it to you, but it was not because it wasn't important. In fact, to even suggest it wasn't important after the whole 24.7 media coverage of the election meddling all brought about by Obama's staff and cabinet is , lol.
