Operation Snake Eyes[edit]

cancelledpostponed Operation Snake Eyes again, Captain Sourisok quit the war?

Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced, although all sources are offline. QPQ is done. However, the article seems to say that the White House postponed the operation, but did not cancel it outright until Sourisok quit. Could you please clarify the issue? Thanks, -Zanhe (talk) 19:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- A recheck of the source material shows it implies that Sourisouk quit because the White House's postponement ended the operation, as that is the final sentence written on the operation. However, the above emended hook is a literal restatement of the source, and I think it a bit more interesting. Thanks for the insight.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
