Had they failed Obama's presidency would have been effectively over right then and there, the national embarrassment would have been huge and done severe damage to our ability to fight terrorism and influence other nations.

For someone who the Right accuses of being anti-military it would seem that Obama has enormous faith in the skills and dedication of our warriors.
