No, I believe smitty can be shown to be wrong.
RE: 'Evil Child-like Socialist'
See David Limbaugh's summary at http://www.newsmax.com/Limbaugh/Obama-Responsibility-news-conference/2011/10/07/id/413673 for a pretty fair summary.
Avoid the Circumstantial Ad Hominem - facts are facts, and the interpretation of the facts may reasonably lead to the conclusions of the author- and I believe the majority of adults.
RE: 'Regime' isn't hate-filled. It is neutral. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Regime
Attempts to Socialize the country make Obama's organization a Socialist Regime. Which is not neutral.
RE: Parallels to Carter and Desert One. There's not much there. Jimmy Carter's feeble Foreign Policy precipitated the hostage crises and he micromanaged the rescue attempt. The only other key failure was the insistence of going as 'Joint Op' as possible instead of using AF H-53s with better gear (air filtration and sensors) and crews with more experience doing ops deep in Indian country. Obama inherited an ongoing operation, and works to distance himself from military ops to keep from riling his base. I'm pretty sure he also knew that getting OBL would allow him to slouch towards getting out of Iraq before we should have without causing a stink - which so far has worked.
