"Bush would have handled the situation in most likely the same way."
you just can't assume that... there are many ways this could have played out. Surely someone would have told Bush, 'you realize that if this fails, they will compare you to Jimmy Carter."
I think he wold have opted for the safer bomb 'em from a save distance' option, but there is no way to know just WHAT Bush would have done.
He might also have waited for proof that Bin Laden was there. The opportunity could have also been missed entirely due to waiting.
