Obama taking credit for this is like Harry Truman taking credit for winning WWII.
I think that’s a little exaggerated. Obama has been President for 2 and a half years almost. It’s not like Truman who took over on Apr 12 and the Germans surrendered on May 6.
He should get credit. He continued the efforts, he built on the leads, he was able to make sure that none of this was leaked(I’m amazed at that and I think most people are). He made the decision not to share this with any other countries or people outside the US. He ordered an assault into a sovereign nation armed with nuclear weapons! That’s a pretty big deal. Probably never been done before in history. If this went bad he would have taken all the heat. He pulled the trigger, he made the decision, and it worked.
I’m not saying he did it 100%, but he should get credit. As should Panetta, et al.
I don’t like him but I give him credit on this one.
At least old Harry had the cojones to use the bomb. Twice!
A political gold mine for Obama, too bad they could not get him alive though. Must give the totalitarian CIC credit for this episode, despite the obvious dubious intentions.
