This is a bogus - cold war remnant answering the question of whether with missiles said to be on the way towards the US, does the President push the button to sent nuclear missiles towards the USSR.
WT1 was not one - once it happened it happened and everyone knew what it was. It happened in day time and Clinton had his staff with him to respond.
The Balkan decisions, like the Cuban missile crisis were all not immediate decisions - and the team provided input and teh president decided.
