Ad nauseum.

(Politico) — President Barack Obama made a “very gutsy call” to send Navy SEALs into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden, outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

“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,” Gates told CBS in a wide-ranging interview aired on “60 Minutes.”

Gates, a veteran government official who also once served as CIA director, said he was very concerned about the quality of the intelligence that had located the Al Qaeda leader in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, ahead of the May 1 raid.
