Vice President Joe Biden offered a few more details this weekend on the Obama administration’s decision to raid the compound of Osama bin Laden, saying he advised President Obama not to go, according to CNN:
“The president, he went around the table, with all the senior people, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he said, ‘I have to make a decision, what is your opinion?’ He started with the national security adviser, the secretary of state, and he ended with me. Every single person in that room hedged their bet, except (then-CIA Director) Leon Panetta. Leon said go,” Biden recalled.
Biden told the president, “My suggestion is don’t go,” saying there were more details that had to be checked to ascertain if bin Laden was indeed in the compound.
