we were only about 50% sure that bin laden was in that compound. but i had 100% confidence in our navy s.e.a.l.s. i sat in that room with him when we were getting feeds on what was going on at the time. he sat there resolute, concer d concerned. just watching. got him. confirm it. just boom, boom, boom. then came and explained to everybody the next day what happened. this is a guy who as i said has a backbone like a ramrod. good evening. tonight i can report to the american people and to the wo d world he took the harder and the more honorable path. and the one that produced in my opinion the best result.
