Naysayers can say what they want but they have to remember the Navy Seals would not have made a move without the call from the President.
If the mission had failed, no one but President Obama would be blamed. Give the man credit! He made the right call, the Navy Seals did an excellent job, bin Laden is dead.
You hear Pres. Obama praising everyone about the raid. They all deserve praise - beginning with the President who had the final call on the mission.

Buggyone: Can't put my hands on it now but a WSJ article which I addressed on another thread reported that inteligence knew back in 2010 where bin Laden was housed. When they all finally came together to discuss the mission Admiral William McRaven made the decision and Obama made it clear that if the mission failed it would all blow back on Admiral McRaven. I'll see if I can locate the article and return the info to this thread on another post
