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.”

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!

What kind of a military do we have now that will not do what it takes to save lives, including pretending not to get the orders not to save the lives of fellow soldiers?

I stopped watching BOR after his fawning interview of Obama four years ago.

The buck stops with Obama, Bill.

These two SEALS took out 80 of the sons of Islam and sent them to their 72 virginal goats before they were killed. Obama, Biden, and Hillary are all culpable for just letting them hang and in other times would have been fired for treason or incompetence.

I stopped watching him 7 years ago because of another sickening Al Sharpton interview.

Flipped channels and that was that.

O’Riley has been owned by, and used by Saudi Arabia for many years. Including doing a few dirty jobs for them.

Charles Woods, the father Tyrone Woods was on Beck, too. Mr Woods says Biden asked him if his son had or must have had balls the size of cue balls. Something like that. Can you imagine?!!

OBAMA WENT TO BED

The biggest stench is that it is beginning to look like Obama went night-night to rest up for Las Vegas, instead of seeing the crisis through and (had he been awake) sending a rescue mission.

After 6-8 hours in a few “Fort Apaches” with running street battles between, like a mini Blackhawk Down, the living Americans must have been thinking, “Any minute now, here come the helicopters.”

But they didn’t. So even though Delta had forward staged to Sigonella Sicily (rumint) from base in Germany, nobody was willing or able to pull the trigger and send a rescue force. Or even a few F-18 supersonic flybys, to bust windows and warn, “Here comes American airpower, and you camel jockeys know what that means.” Just a a morale booster it would have helped the besieged staffers.

But it was never sent, not even a lousy supersonic low-level flyby.

Here is the deal. The military does a lot on its own, under standing orders and SOPs, the minute they see that the consulate is under attack, and the ambassador and others are in a "safe room" hiding. At that moment, things happen on autopilot in real time. Everybody in the Navy and USAF chain of command swings into a crisis contingency plan mode. What ships are closest? Helicopters? Marines? Delta is in Germany? Get them moving right now. Where is closest? Sigonella, for now. It’s NATO, no permission needed, just fly. En route in C-17s, the Delta guys would even be prepping for an immediate action raid, that is, the C-17 will fly directly to some desert road outside of Benghazi, and here comes “The Raid On Entebbe,” crisis mode, canned actions, but they would do it. If they were ordered to.

Or Marines on amphib ships in the central Med, if any were available, would also be put on the real-time options board.

But while all of that military staging would have happened/did happen, what they cannot do on their own say-so is cross an international border without an order from the NCA, the National Command Authority, and that means POTUS, Obama.

Only POTUS can authorize a cross-border hostile mission. That is, guns clear, no official permission from the Tripoli govt (if it really exiss outside State Dept fantasies.)

Only one man can pull that trigger and say, "GO!" Obama.

(But for America to act "unilaterally" would have meant the bogus Libyan Arab Spring and so-called new govt. that we were propping up didn’t really exist. Libyan sovereignty must be held sacrosanct, even the false image of one, where in reality, Al Queda is top dog. Even when an Al Queda offshoot is your external "security," namely, The 17th of February Martyrs Brigade." (IOW, the White House thought they had a "deal" with AQ in Behghazi, since we were helping to run weaponry from Libya to their pals in Syria. So there was an "institutional bias" at State against crossing the border on a rescue up sin permisso.

Anyway, be that as it may, no General or Admiral will order the Marines ashore, or a Delta raid or even an F-18 low-level supersonic flyby. They can not and will not cross a border without an order from POTUS via the NCA.

But no order came, as of midnight. And then none would come. Because the POTUS retired for the night with a “do not disturb” sign on his door, punted, and went to bed, to be well rested for Las Vegas.

While his ambassador was off the U.S. radar, missing, at that moment possibly being dragged down a Benghazi street or even raped. But that is when Obama went to bed. Midnight in DC is 0600 in Beghazi.

That is the greatest scandal of Benghazi. The POTUS slept through it, while all around the world, military forces were poised for the Raid on Entebbe or any other damn thing the POTUS ordered them to do. (And the were raring to go, believe me.)

But the POTUS said, “We’ll discuss it further in the morning,” and then he went to bed around midnight in DC, 0600 in Benghazi, with a missing ambassador and a crisis in full mega flap process.

He punted. He went to bed.

God help us. I think that’s the big secret they are keeping. The President went to bed, with his lost Ambassador being dragged through streets.

Obama went to bed.

O'Reilly is dumb as a bag of hair.

No offense to hair.

Seriously, he is probably the least qualified person to speak of administration processes. My 90 year-old two-panty granny probably knows more about military affairs than this tool.

“Obama is one dangerous person.”

He's a spiteful misinformed narcissistic ideologue, but he's not alone. The media have failed the USA, over and over and over again. They have put their petty selves before the future of the US and its children. it is unforgivable.

I would not want to live another day if anything happened to my child, God forbid. i can't imagine what this poor father is going through. But our media, the cocktail sipping self-satisfied arrogant a**h***s that they are, don't care. They love to back the pseudo-compassionate left, but show no empathy for those who truly suffer.

By the way, I wonder if Letterman and the rest of that pathetic and marginally talented crowd will give this father the same support that they gave Cindy Sheehan...
