Obama has not been a public cowboy saying things like "get him dead or alive", "mission accomplished", etc.

Obama has been calculating, cool and determined and whether it is OBL, top AQ leaders, Al-Zwahiri, the Somali pirates, etc. he has not boasted of these nor taken the cowboy position.

The reason I ridiculed GWB was because he was full of shit. He had no idea what he was doing and didn't achieve any of his objectives. He invaded Afghanistan to root out AQ, capture OBL and displace the Taliban. His success was hardly complete.

He invaded Iraq on trumped up charges of WMD that led to a bloodbath, not at all his predictions of an easy win. Tell that to the families of the over 4K Americans killed in this senseless war not to mention the 100K Iraqis killed.

I don't support everything this President has done including his continued use of rendition and extension of what I consider extra-constitutional authorities. But I would give him more credibility in these matters than GWB anytime.
