Saying that Obama authorized the strike on Osama is what's silly because they waited for almost a year until they were pretty much positive that Osama was there and it would have been horrible of him not to move. I don't even think that he made the final call so much as he just allowed it.
We were searching for Osama long before Obama (I think all the way back to Clinton) and the only thing he did was not cancel them.
This point is rather disingenuous. If the Osama raid had gone badly, as the attempted Iran hostage rescue, it would have been an enormous disaster for Obama. The GOP would have been all over him and the fallout would have been substantial. Additionally, you focused solely on the Osama raid example and completely ignored the other, pertinent, examples that Benton provided. Cherry picking points to dissect really only exposes the fact that you realize your argument isn't that strong.
Obama is not a dove and he's not quite a hawk but he's certainly more the latter.
