| ---------------------------------------- Breaking News Alert: In ordering bin Laden raid, Obama rejected the advice of some of his national security team, he says May 8, 2011 7:18:34 PM ---------------------------------------- President Obama faced sharply divided counsel and, in his mind, barely better-than-even odds of success when he ordered the daring May 1 commando raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the president said in an interview broadcast Sunday. "At the end of the day, this was still a 55/45 situation," Obama told CBS's "60 Minutes" in his first broadcast interview since bin Laden's death. "I mean we could not say definitively that bin Laden was there. Had he not been there, then there would have been some significant consequences." http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/U38ITL/182N6N/VOO1O9/G818LU/ZE18D/W1/h For more information, visit washingtonpost.com ---------------------------------------- Have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?
