Why shouldn't he get credit for this?

Our troops, particularly special forces deserve the vast majority of the credit, and to appreciate them is not a partisan stance.

Obama deserves credit for allowing actions in Pakistan, something bush seemed to shy away from. Also, he and his administration deserve credit for keeping everything so secret, during and after the operation when politics is usually completely full of leaks.

If this happened a week ago, then it makes sense to wait to announce it. For one, it allows intelligence gathered at the scene to be used to get other top henchmen, and it allows for rigorous determination of whether in fact it was bin laden and not a look-alike, etc.

I'm sure if this had happened under bush, the right would not stop patting themselves on the back for years regarding how bush got bin laden, texas gunfight style.

Sorry to hear about your family killed, and glad to see they are avenged.
