The difference between these two, Obama put someone in the CIA who got it done. President Obama gave a one word order "KILL" unlike the "dead or alive" order from Bush.

No no no. Obama said "yes let's do it"...that was his role. He did not FIND Osama. He did not KILL Osama. What happened was is we had the opportunity, we got the intel, it was inside Pakistan and so they made sure the CC knew about it and signed off on it. Remember we could have had him before 9/11 if Bill Clinton did not fumble the ball.

The credit SHOULD go to our CIA and Military.

Second, They did not get an order "Kill"...read the news. They tried to get him to surrender and a firefight ensued instead. Osama did not want to be captured and went down fighting

The reason we want these guys alive is the intel they can provide

Soo. Osama may have preferred death because his insider reports told him they are still waterboarding? Wasn't waterboarding a sin under the Bush administration?

Now it is mere enhanced interviewing methods.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) reports: Now that bin Laden has been killed and his body has been positively identified, what is to be done with his remains?

U.S. officials tell me the last thing they want is for his burial place to become a terrorist shrine.

To avoid that, an informed source tells me, the intention is the bury his body at sea -- leaving no definitive location for the final resting place of his body.

Bury his body, wrapped in explosives...have a button there that reads "Push this button if you want to see Allah"

I credit Obama for not screwing up the opportunity that landed in his lap.

Obama is a threat called paralysis by analysis. Had he studied too long, Osama could have given another slip.

I credit Obama for continuing the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East and not scrubbing the mission to capture Bin Laden.

That's another point I was going to mention. It was Bush that put bases of operation in Afghanistan and Pakistan...Obama ran on an anti-war platform and he was expected to pull our troops out

It was under Bush that we turned our resources and assets in the CIA to Pakistan and Afghanistan...not Obama
