Father of Slain SEAL: Who Made the Decision Not to Save My Son?
Weekly Standard ^ | OCT 25, 2012 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 10/25/2012 5:23:41 PM PDT by Snuph

Charles Woods, the father Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, reveals details of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the publically broadcast memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack. And, in a recent radio appearance, Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his son’s life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya).

“When [Obama] came over to our little area” at Andrew Air Force Base, says Woods, “he kind of just mumbled, you know, ‘I’m sorry.’ His face was looking at me, but his eyes were looking over my shoulder like he could not look me in the eye. And it was not a sincere, ‘I’m really sorry, you know, that you’re son died,’ but it was totally insincere, more of whining type, ‘I’m sorry.’”

Woods says that shaking President Obama’s hands at his son’s memorial service was “like shaking hands with a dead fish.”

If you haven’t heard the conversation between Glenn Beck and the father of the slain SEAL Tyrone Woods; you need to do so. It is posted at the Blaze, and I believe there is a thread someone here at FR with the links.

You and me both. I want to see proof of any communication from Obama from approx 2300 on 9-11 until approx 0700 on 9-12.

When was he in the Situation Room with the NSC? Or was he never at all? He keeps parsing, talking about “being in touch with” the NSC, not “I was with my NS team” etc.

My guess is around midnight, it seemed like nothing could be done, should be done, so why not go to sleep? While his Ambassador was missing and being desecrated. He slept.

And nobody but him could order Delta or any other rescue attempt. Just the sad little QRF from Tripoli, which was getting stopped at airports like Inspector Clouseau visiting a Middle Eastern country.

God forbid Delta would just land in the Libyan Desert in C-17s, and or the USMC in helicopters and Ospreys.

Nobody could make that call but POTUS, and he went to bed.

I can’t wait for some honorable general or admiral to go on a Sunday show and blow the lid off this disgrace.

O’Riley is on now on Fox taking up for BAMA . Says decisions like Bengazi are usually delegated and feels BAMA was busy campaigning and probably was not even told what was going on!


O Reilly shows a total lack of respect for those who put there lives on the line by letting Obama off the hook on this one.

I’m listening to it, now. He treated Sean Smith’s mom the same way.

Cold

fish.

Heartless.

He is EVIL incarnate.

You have confirmed what I thought, Travis, but you wrote it so much better than I could.

President Obama has a long history of vaccillating, procrastinating, ignoring, delaying, anything to prevent him from actually making a real decision that he might be held accountable for.

In a crises, he reverted to form. He decided not to do anything.

Yo badass! I saw this of all places on CBN, the 700 club. Les Aspin was Secretary of Defense and he didn’t know his @zz from a hole in the ground. Colin Powell was also involved and he kept his mouth shut.

Thanks for posting this.

This was one of Slicks most sickening attempts to be a CIC.

BOR accepted Panetta’s excuse for “Doing Nothing” and allowed him to cover his leader for the lie we all lived as the Benghazi terrorist attack unfolded. If Panetta’s excuse was valid, why was anyone from U.S. on the ground in Libya?

“These two SEALS took out 80 of the sons of Islam”

Is that true?

Thank you for your posts on this tragic, treasonous disgrace, Travis.

Obama slept.
Jesus wept.

Our brave American brothers and sisters all over the world deserve a CIC who LOVES our country and reveres our founding principles.

Not some anticolonialist agitator hack whose default position is to vote “present” - the passive aggressive streak is strong in him.

“Not to act is to act. Not to speak is to speak.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who faced evil down at the cost of his own life.

That’s a true statement, Travis. Sadly true. I hope that enough of us leave an accurate record of what’s been happening... this, I think,will be a much-studied segment of history... the time when Americans stood firm against enemies foreign and domestic... (hat tip).

There was a similar instance when the father of Casey Joyce, I believe, asked Clinton why they were sent after Aidid at the same time they were trying to set up negotiations with him through Jimmy Carter.

Clinton turned to Tony Lake and said something like, "That's a good question. Why was that, Tony?"

Avoiding accountability is the successful Democrat's most important skill.

Good grief--it is so clear! Obama HATES the responsibility his "job" places on him, so he avoids taking it as much as possible so he can blame others under his authority whenever he does something he probably shouldn't have, or doesn't do something he should have.

Basically, he IS an empty suit--or chair. And also, I fear, a naked communist.

“Father of Slain SEAL: Who Made the Decision Not to Save My Son?”

This nation owes Mr. Woods that answer.
