Here's what happened...the special operations command told Obama "we think Bin Laden is in this compound, and we think we have a plan to capture/kill him. President Obama, should SEAL team 6 attempt this, or should they have a cookout instead?"
I'll give Obama credit for making the "corrcet" decision. It was about as easy a decision as you can fathom. I also give him credit for getting through each day without accidentally setting off a nuke. Yes, he gets credit for that, but it's the least you can expect.
I hate to break it to Spence, but Obama didn't jump out of a helicopter and kick down any doors. He made a decision that was almost impossible to get wrong.
His decision on the Somali pirates was much gutsier.
