Yep. She certainly appears to be there.

Very interesting. Because she was in the room that meant she sent the team to kill Bin Laden?

By your logic and the parent poster's logic ~13 people aside from the President and the laptops and coffee cups were also just as responsible for sending the team to kill him.

Are you really questioning the idea that the Secretary of State had a hand in approving a CIA-led assassination mission when there's literally pictures of her watching it go down?
I never said that I questioned that in the slightest. Not sure where you get that at all.

I did however basically say that she did not send the team to get him. That's what a President signs off on and military leaders plan.

You literally just questioned that.

And it was a CIA-led, ie. civilian led, operation, not a military-led one.

The military explicitly played a critical role in planning, leading, and executing this.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Osama_bin_Laden#Opera...

U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and at least 6 members from JSOC planned it in coordination with the CIA.

Literally the second sentence of that article says:

> The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a CIA-led operation

You edited your comment to change what you said. You originally did not say that she had a 'hand in approving'. Why would you change it to make it seem like you were talking about something else that you didn't originally say?
