I will offer that he made a good "decision". The leadership absolutely, no doubt came from the military and JSOC.

...a good decision does not ordain or imply leadership...leadership is not a one time or some time quality...it is earned by continuous risk involved performance as a leader. Qualities almost absent in politics in general and in the 535 in Washington in specific!!

Obama gets the credit for the action taken. Now let's see him continue to do that in his day to day performance as POTUS.
