Boy, Way to go out on a limb on that one.

I don't think we will have to wait for history for this. He was/is the president, so who else would have ordered it.

The finer point would be if Obama would have started the hunt for him in the first place. I don't think so.
I think Obama was just the recipient of good planning by the previous and now his, administration.
To say that Obama deserves all the credit for this mission only shows ones true colors.
