So what does that mean to the narrative?
Will those who hate Trump and supported Obama, and said Trump did something dastardly or stupid for dropping the bomb now say that it was a good thing, all credit to Obama, and Trump would have been too stupid to drop it?
Or will those who hate Obama, but were queasy about the bomb and opposed Trump's bombing it, now feel relieved and shower Obama with all sorts of trash talk?
Or will those who were ecstatic about Trump using the bomb but hated Obama now say what a horrible thing it was to drop it?
Or will those who were for it and happy, not care who was responsible?
Or will those who were against it, will not care who was responsible, and still call it a horrible thing?
What say you, wdmso?

If you think that he did not ask for permission before dropping that thing your gullible.
when Trump was asked during a meeting with I-85 First Responders if he had authorized the strike.

authority but its still Trumps responsibility
Pentagon officials say the generals have had the authority to launch whatever ordnance they had in theatre against ISIS since January last year, but President Donald Trump's comfort level with
delegating new decision-making on counterterrorism strikes surely played into their thinking. General John “Mick” Nicholson ordered the weapon during the Obama Administration to use during Afghan’s fierce spring and summer “fighting season”, but it was only delivered in January this year, Salvin said.
While he may have had the authority to drop the bomb, it’s likely he notified commanders above him that he was about to use the munition, but it’s not clear how high that went. “Appropriate notifications were made,” U.S. Central Command spokesman Col. John Thomas emailed
Not sure how any justifies a 16mil dollar weapon to kill 100 and think it was done solely in the name defending America As for the general he say it was tactical not political ... but giving him the green light was political and strategic for the white house home and abroad
