I doubt that

Try reading a couple of the RW threads, then. Even here, the wording by you was subtly demeaning in saying the SEALS did it, not Obama, when the stories emerging now show that Obama was very quietly on top of the whole thing and was smart enough to do what worked, either by not getting in the way or by direct order to go ahead at the right time.

I don't care what level of military victory the incident reaches; you may "LYAO" all you like at its size. But it could easily have ended badly, and it didn't, and that IS a victory for us, another step forward in redeeming ourselves, imo, with considered and careful reactions.

ANd yes, the markmanship was astonishing. Go, SEALS.
