Obama and Biden await updates on bin Laden.jpg
U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on Operation Neptune 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:

  1. a person with black hair (only part of the head is visible);
  2. Vice President of the United States Joe Biden,
  3. President Obama,
  4. Brigadier General Marshall B. "Brad" Webb, USAF, Assistant Commanding General, Joint Special Operations Command;
  5. Denis McDonough, Deputy National Security Advisor;
  6. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State; and
  7. Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense.

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."
