David Axelrod reminded us of this quote from the Bush-appointed former Secretary of Defense Bob Gates about the killing of Bin Laden:
"I worked for a lot of these guys and this is one of the most courageous calls — decisions — that I think I’ve ever seen a president make."
Note that Gates didn't say that about the surge or the invasion of Iraq or any of the decisions from the president who originally appointed him.
SEAL Team Six kicked serious ass and should be credited as such, but it was the president who made the call to send them in. Without that decision, Bin Laden would still be alive today -- watching porn and planning terrorist attacks.
