any video footage from the scene as it happened? no, we weren t able to see video footage from the scene. we were following, getting realtime updates in a variety of media, but such video footage was not available. i do think it was quite remarkable that the president maintain eed his steely demeano throughout this. the anxious moments that occupied many of us during that time, but i also think that what s important in my mind about that picture is i think it s emblematic of the kind of teamwork that went into the generation of the options for president, around this operation. i think that s also emblematic of the president s leadership and the leadership of tom d donil donilon. when you re in that kind of situation, it must be incredibly tense. describe for me, paint a picture of what it was like for you all.
