Muslims is it true that Osama left all his wealth and family for Jihad(or what he called that)?

Probably that was true. But what Jihad (or what he called that) are we talking about here. He hid like a rat in a hole for over five long years. When he was surrounded by the commandos, he hid behind a woman. It is also said that he forbade his children to follow his Jihad (or what he called that). So much for his commitment for the cause he left his wealth for. A brave man?????
