Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he would “of course” have given the order to kill Osama bin Laden, as President Barack Obama did a year ago.

Romney, pushing back against an advertisement by Obama’s re-election campaign that suggests he wouldn’t have taken the action in Pakistan against bin Laden, said “even Jimmy Carter” would have approved the U.S. raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader.
