"President Obama basically did everything the right would have wanted him to do. He took advantage of Bush-era policies and ordered the military (not the FBI) to attack a target inside another country without requesting their approval.
The end result was a victory for America and its military, and a huge slap in the face to the left and their naive multilateral views – no one will ever be able to shriek about Bush torturing people without being remined that without those policies we never would have killed OBL.
Thankfully, everything worked out, but a mission like this could have easily turned into a Blackhawk Down or an Operation Eagle Claw, so politically it was very risky. But when push came to shove the President made the right call, and he at least deserves credit for it. "

From what we've heard so far, just think of all the stuff that could have gone wrong. This could have been a flaming disaster, and ZerØ would have gotten the fallout. I think any president should have the guts to okay a mission like this, but I'm surprised Øbama did. So he gets props for that.
But that's all he gets. Cause I also agree it was ultimately the Bush/Cheney policies and infrastructure that made this possible at all.
Yay, W!

Unless 0 didn't really make the decision, and Leon Panetta and Hilldebeast did it themselves: as is being reported

Oh...he's a spineless pretender in any case. One good decision can't redeem him from that...!
