Not really. On April 14, 1945 the U.S. naval intelligence effort code-named "Magic" intercepted and decrypted orders alerting affected Japanese units of a tour of bases by Yamamoto beginning on April 17, 1942. On April 18, 1942 Yamamoto was dead.
Fearless Captain Zero was informed of OBL's location in August 2010. No action taken until May 2010 and even then it is extremely unlikely that the Bamster had any input in the decision to go.

Bamster think politics first everything else last. He probably wanted to save killing OBL for the election run, late 2012. Darn that.

Fearless Captain Zero was informed of OBL's location in August 2010. Gawd, I hate to be defending zero on this, but I believe the operative word would be "probable" location.
Yes it turned out to be the location, but I do not believe they ever had 100% certainty, even up to the moment they launched the attack that OBL was there.
What they had was the first indicators in August that this was likely his hide out, after that they built their case.
