perhaps Biden remembered Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, and it's disastrous aftermath. In fact with one blown up helicopter left in the Bin Laden compound, and a dead Bin Laden (maybe their first objective was really to capture him... who knows) it goes to show, that nothing of this nature is a slam dunk. I give Obama credit for pulling the trigger, but also to Biden for doing his job and be a good advisor.
