The "Hero" of the hour had to take a nap before he ordered the SEALS to attack. He forgot add that he had to contact George Soros for guidance. Lives were at stake he he had to take a nap? Reminds me of when the German Generals wanted to release the German Tanks to Normandy during the DDay Invasion, the answer was: "Der Fhurer Schlaft."
