If you seriously don't believe Hillary played no part in the Osama raid, I don't know what to say. She was the Secretary of State, all the top cabinet members had a say in advising Obama on how to proceed. Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense are two positions that had the most influence since they deal with foreign/diplomatic affairs and the US Military. Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, and Leon Panetta played big roles, but ultimately, the finally decision was up to the President. He took their advise into consideration, along with others, inside the Situation Room and acted on it. Joe Biden wasn't even for the option of the raid, but backtracked and contradicted himself last year, alluding to he left the decision to the POTUS (which was a duh since he has the ultimate decision in the end) to go with his instinct.
I mean, she was in the Situation Room as the raid was being conducted. She very much played a role in being one of those that vouched the President to proceed.

I counted 13 people in that picture, and it doesn't look like Hillary is the leader. Are you trying to tell me she was leading Obama during this time?

Not all 13 people are seated at the table...
