Navy SEALs killed bin Laden 10 years ago today; Biden was against the mission
Joe Biden, Obama’s vice president at the time, had opposed the move, arguing in high-level meetings that they should wait for more additional intelligence on bin Laden’s whereabouts before greenlighting the strike.
"Joe weighed in against the raid, arguing that given the enormous consequences of failure, I should defer any decision until the intelligence community was more certain that bin Laden was in the compound," Obama wrote, recounting the national security meetings that led up to the 9/11 mastermind’s demise.
Biden himself, on multiple occasions over the years, has admitted to opposing the raid

For something like ten hours, Leon Panetta had to drag Obama kicking and screaming into making the final go decision.
Great job Obama and Hillary.... advisors did recommend not doing it and you(Obama) took the shot!
