caption_attribution_description: English: U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on Operation Neptune's Spear, a mission against Osama bin Laden, in one of the conference rooms of the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011. They are watching live feed from drones operating over the bin Laden complex. Seated, from left to right, are: Vice President of the United States Joe Biden, President Obama, Brigadier General Marshall B. “Brad” Webb, USAF, Assistant Commanding General, Joint Special Operations Command; Denis McDonough, Deputy National Security Advisor; Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State; and Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense. Standing, from left to right, are: Admiral Mike Mullen, USN, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Tom Donilon, National Security Advisor; Bill Daley, Chief of Staff; Tony Blinken, National Security Advisor to the Vice President; Audrey Tomason, Director for Counterterrorism; a person in a beige shirt (only part of the shoulder is visible); John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence; and a person in a black suit with a white tie, similar to the one seen here. A classified document in front of Hillary Clinton has been obscured by the White House. Photographer's note: "Much has been made of this photograph that shows the President and Vice President and the national security team monitoring in real time the mission against Osama bin Laden. Some more background on the photograph: The White House Situation Room is actually comprised of several different conference rooms. The majority of the time, the President convenes meetings in the large conference room with assigned seats. But to monitor this mission, the group moved into the much smaller conference room. The President chose to sit next to Brigadier General Marshall B. “Brad” Webb, Assistant Commanding General of Joint Special Operations Command, who was point man for the communications taking place. WIth so few chairs, others just stood at the back of the room. I was jammed into a corner of the room with no room to move. During the mission itself, I made approximately 100 photographs, almost all from this cramped spot in the corner. There were several other meetings throughout the day."
