Today, US forces missed in an attempted follow-up strike against an al-Qa'ida leader. Given events of the last five day, it could not have been otherwise.

BHO took little delay in announcing the killing of OBL and flaunting the apparent treasure of computer intel from his abode.

Moments prior to BHO's first announcement, the early word was OBL had been killed the week prior. That one week delay made perfect tactical sense.

It's called "getting inside the timing of the enemy's decision loop". It is a widely used practice in highly competitive business environments and is a cornerstone of military tactics. In other words; kill OBL, gather on site intel, exploit the intel, and take further action - all before the enemy knows those events have occured.

Obama gave away a unique once-in-the-war event which should have allowed an immediate decisive crippling of al-Qa'ida. Instead, much of the tactical advantage of OBL's death has been lost. The prey has flushed and moved to new cover. All because an indecisive Barack Hussein Obama needed to literally cry out for immediate attention and credit for the death of Osama bin Laden.

Exactly and well said. He is too busy making a trophy out of OBL and boosting his own ego that he forgot to stop campaigning and act like the CIC.

How incredibly irresponsible.

Not to mention, all the publicity of precisely which units were involved (and their home base) in the raid will doubtless subject those men and their families to untold grief/mental anguish stateside as slacker-sleepers get the assignments to track such families for a Beslan-style follow-up revenge attack.
