Graham noted that he has traveled the world with his former Senate colleague and described the call as “very emotional.”

“He was somber,” Graham said of Biden. “He was very proud of the military. He said, ‘This was one hell of an operation.”

The South Carolinian, a member of the Armed Services Committee, said he didn’t know that Obama had given the mission order Friday but that he had an inkling of the subject when the call came because of stepped-up efforts in recent months to find the Al Qaeda leader.
