It is to Obama that you should give prime responsibility, even if the strategy and tactics are by others.
Consider this: a retired military friend was telling old Army stories. A sergeant lost a full-auto weapon, which is a gross violation of Army policy. This led to his chain of command up to the Colonel being court-martialed, and the General was formally reprimanded. It was their responsibility to ensure that their subordinates performed correctly. The same applies to Obama.
Even if you disagree with what he did - upon his shoulders is the responsibility.
The buck stops with the President. Always.
