To be fair, President Obama wasn't the reason that the US killed UBL.[/ QUOTE]
Sure enough, UBL is the reason he was killed. Top ten biggest shitbags.
You can make the case (one that I think is pretty strong) that President Bush took his eye off of UBL, and that's why he wasn't killed sooner. However, President Obama had nothing to do with the discovery of UBL in Pakistan, as that credit belongs to the CIA. The President simply gave the order to use the US military to kill him after he had been found, which they did.
You could make that case, but it's unfair to W.
There wasn't reliable, actionable intelligence about UBL's location. Not much to be done if there's no acquirable target. That ain't W's fault.
I think all those "Where's UBL? Why hasn't he been caught yet?" were uninformed, bullshit gotcha questions. How the fuck was he supposed to answer?
What is very interesting is that when all the Cabinet members were asked their thoughts, the only significant voice of opposition to using the SEALs was Vice President Biden, according to Mark Bowden's book The Finish. That's one thing that has stuck with me these past few years.
Tbf they all had to make a largely guesswork assessment based on kinda sorta probably maybe. Not knowing, I might've voted no.
