Apply Rumsfeld's adage about going to war with the Army you have to the hostage rescue mission. There was no unity of command among the various Air Force, Army and Navy units and personnel. They did not even have common communication and/or communication security equipment. That was the military Jimmy Carter permitted to exist, and assigned the mission. So he was deserving of criticism for the mission failing.

Do you also believe that Obama deserves all the praise he's gotten for the bin Laden raid?

No, the key word in your question is "all". Obama is not deserving of all the accolades, but he did deserve a great deal of them. Carter was not deserving of all the criticism, but he was deserving of some of the criticism, which is what my statement intended to convey.
