require authorization from the US PresidentAO - my guess is the Precedent & staff saw an opportunity to either 1. take credit for COMMANDING (macho voice)a successful rescue or 2. covering his ass, having the opportunity for plausible deniability and being able to throw the on-scene guys under the bus if the op went sour.
