Nothing to spin here, as long as the Sec Def had the authority to make the call our President does not have to spin anything else, the POTUS will have to take action.

Carter: US soldier killed in Iraq went beyond call of duty
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Ash Carter says the American soldier killed in the mission that rescued 70 hostages from an Islamic State prison in Iraq was a hero for rushing into a firefight to defend his Kurdish partners — even though the plan called for the Kurds to do the fighting on their own.

I think Obama was against this raid and was afraid if it was not successful it would reflect badly on him....in my day we called this passing the buck ...

Is that a SWAG Sgt Tom Cunnally, or do you have a credible source to indicate our President had this stand?

CSM Michael J. Uhlig - Not a SWAG just common sense because consider this; Obama gave the OK to take out Osama Bib Laden but did not give the OK to rescue these Iraqis ?? Why ?? Probably because Valerie Jarrett advised him not to is just the way these things are in the White House. Obama didn't want the media to question his edict that no American Troops will be involved in combat in Iraq. The firefight these Delta Force guys had with ISIS was combat operations so he stayed away from it for political reasons
