I don't think so. Evidence certainly points elsewhere.
Osama thought he was mighty safe there in Afghanistan. I doubt very much he thought the USA would come full throttle at him. Especially with unfriendly Iran on one side, Osama's nominal ally Pakistan on the other and Xenophobic Russia to the north. I am guessing he figured the response would be more along the lines of what Clinton did. And that was to fire a few dozen missiles at empty tents in a field.
Instead he went from being a virtual ruler of Theocratic Talaban kingdom to hiding in a cave with most of his leadership in jail or dead in a matter of months.
Gone from creating a new Darsalam to hoping his followers see him on his next video release
