Completely irrelevant. The Commander-in-Chief gets to take the credit and has to accept the blame, especially in a case like this when he was certainly directly making final decisions. I have no problem with that, regardless of who the Commander-in-Chief is.

I do not know that at all, though my strong suspicion is that you're wrong. I, who was no fan of W's, would have given him credit, just as I and many others who otherwise didn't like him did for his actions after 9/11.
