The defense department provides potential targets hundreds of times a day. They are selected for many different reasons and utilizing many different sources of information .
Obama does nothing that does not personally benefit him. We will only hear the success stories. Had this operation failed you would have never have heard one thing about it. Bet even the operators had to sign non disclosure documents.
God bless these skilled warriors
Obama has nothing to do with that... he has gutted our military in both funding and experience
Do you think the killing of a single terrorist leader lends itself to stopping the presses so worthy special praise can be given?
If so, then that only speaks volumes to how badly Obama has performed as leader of the defense of America.
The war strategy for some seems to be a copy of the Japanese in 1941. Instead of sinking a fleet of battleships and thinking it will cause an immediate surrender some think they can take out a leader and it will be over and done with. At one time they thought if we get Osama Bin Laden the war will be over. It wasn't so. So we got Abu Sayyaf and google went busy as we said "who?" but then Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines which transferred its allegiance for al Qaeda to the Islamic State is still operative hiding behind the Moro Islamic Liberation Front ready to strike. As are enemies travelling to Dallas Texas, Paris France, Madrid Spain, London England multiple villages in Nigeria....... over and over worldwide on a daily basis.
But then nobody wants to accept that the enemy is anybody who will use force to enforce the Jizya as well as those who go further.
He was involved in the oilfield operations in Eastern Syria. Considering ISIS gets support from the various governments aligned against Syria, the operation has no bearing on the outcome. Perhaps, the delivery of oil to Turkish ports is a means to laundering the financial aid from Turkey, US, and other governments.
There's nothing Obama can do to please the roughly 50% of the population that abhors him. I'm not suggesting that he's the greatest president ever, or anything close. However, some just won't like him because they expected him to be something he's not. He's not really any different than the last few presidents we have had. Our perception that the world is falling off a cliff is entrenched in our head, even though every generation thought the same thing.

You place blame on the people instead of placing blame where it's deserved. The blame is Obama's and Obama's alone. I don't expect Obama to be something that he's not. That's a pointless statement. I do expect Obama to keep his promises and not tells lies and 1/2 truths as easily as breathing air.
His failure to do anything promised are why MOST of America now abhors him and the few supporters he has left, 95% of African Americans, hard core Democrats and the delusional, are the ones who have the issue.
I voted for Obama in '08. He lost my support in '12 and I can't wait for his now lame duck session to end. He's damn lucky that idiot Mitt Romney was his opponent as a competent candidate would have sent him and his race baiting wife packing.
