...that would make a good science fiction movie. What really happened is that the guys in the military readied two plans. One was to bomb the place flat and the other was to go in and capture / kill bin laden. They told him that the bombing the place flat would probaly kill civilians and would not guarantee a kill of bin laden. Obama picked the plan they wanted him to pick.
Take a look at this picture.
Everybody is in a chair and a position of authority except obama. He looks like he's sitting on a turned over trash can. Obviously not the smartest nor the most powerful man in the room.
