Obama's Osama Ad

In addition to the numerous reasons given for why Obama's Osama ad was a bad idea, it seems to me that the fact that the ultimate success of the mission was out of Obama's hands means that he can only take credit for rolling the dice. As president, he was responsible for the decision, that is all. The risk inherent in the mission was beyond his ability to control, and the mission's success has nothing to do with his efforts. The fact that he must portray this decision as the pinnacle of his accomplishment just ends up highlighting the fact that he lacks a notion of what actual achievement means. UPDATE: Nice video version of the criticism here.
