Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says a president had no greater responsibility than to send U.S. troops into harm's way.

Panetta tells the story of President Obama's security team sitting around a table debating whether to go after Osama bin Laden, who was behind the 9/11 attacks. He said Hillary Clinton said the U.S. must go after bin Laden.

The U.S. special operatives "sent a clear message to the world that no one attacks the United States of America and gets away with it," he said.
