Ex-SEAL’s Father: Hillary Blamed the Movie
Commentary Magazine ^ | 10/26/12 | Jonathan S. Tobin

Posted on 10/26/2012 8:05:40 AM PDT by Clint N. Suhks

The father of Tyrone Woods, the ex-Navy SEAL who died while trying to defend Ambassador Chris Stevens in the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, made the rounds of some radio shows yesterday, and the tale he told of his meetings with top administration officials doesn’t put any of them in a flattering light. Speaking to radio talkers Glenn Beck and Lars Larson, Charles Woods expressed his belief that, given the revelations about real-time intelligence about the attack being funneled to Washington, it’s clear that someone gave an order not to save those trapped in the consulate by the terrorists.

But as upset as he is about the failure of the administration to come clean about what happened, his account of his personal contacts with them is just as bad. He described President Obama’s condolences as insincere, said Vice President Joe Biden made a wildly inappropriate remark about his son and that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised that, “we’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video.”

Woods’ account of the president’s attempt to condole him may be put down as the angry reflections of a grieving father, but it does dovetail with much of what we know about the president’s personality.

On Beck’s show, Woods described the encounter in this manner:

“When he finally came over to where we were, I could tell that he was rather conflicted, a person who was not at peace with himself,” Woods said. “Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye, his eyes were over my shoulder.”

“I could tell that he was not sorry,” he added. “He had no remorse.”

As for Biden, the blundering veep’s attempt to praise the slain ex-SEAL did not go over very well:

Woods said Biden came over to his family and asked in a “loud and boisterous” voice, “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”

“Are these the words of someone who is sorry?” said Woods.

But perhaps most damning of all were the words of Clinton, who not only attempted to promote the story of the video being the cause of the attack, but went so far as to promise to have the man who produced it jailed. While the White House has been furiously trying to persuade the country that it always knew that what happened was a terrorist attack, Clinton’s comments are another reminder of the administration’s effort to falsely blame it all on the video. That Clinton would go so far as to push for the man’s arrest for exercising his free speech rights is chilling, especially given the State Department’s prior and subsequent efforts to appease radical Islamists.

Woods’s complaint is especially heart-rending because he knows that his son was not at the consulate at the time of the attack, but rather a mile away in a safe house, yet responded to calls for help. As Alana reported yesterday, the latest revelations about real-time information coming in about the attack makes the failure to respond adequately even more puzzling. Woods is demanding answers that have not been forthcoming:

I want to honor my son, Ty Woods, who responded to the cries for help and voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the lives of other Americans. In the last few days it has become public knowledge that within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. Apparently, C-130s were ready to respond immediately. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision. This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with integrity and honor. My son was a true American hero. We need more heroes today. My son showed moral courage. This is an opportunity for the person or persons who made the decision to sacrifice my son’s life to stand up.

The administration’s apologists have told us that it is too soon for us to expect answers about a complicated matter. It is true that the fog of war made it difficult for the president and his team to respond effectively. But we also know that they seized upon a lie about the video and promoted it relentlessly for as long as they could get away with it. They were determined to do anything to suppress the facts about the revival of al-Qaeda-related groups in Libya. Rather than Woods or Republican critics speaking out of turn, it was an administration that was campaigning on the idea that the death of Osama bin Laden ended the war on terror that was playing politics. Charles Woods’ testimony only adds to the justified anger that many Americans feel about the president’s handling of the tragedy in Benghazi.

I don’t have the words for this article. The sorrow I feel for this man.
Mark Levin a few weeks back said on his show how he couldn’t see anyone going into the service under this.....whatever you want to call this pile of shiite in the White House.

My father echoed these words and so did I. My son enlisted a month ago in the Marines. The other night I watched again The Patriot. It hit me different this time especially the scene were Mel argues with his son about the war.

My son just said “Dad in every generation there are good Americans who will stand up and fight for this country cause it’s bigger than who is the president in time of war.”

All I know Mr. Woods is that you are a much better man than I am sir. For if it were I in that situation there would not be enough secret service in that room to save those three worthless, America hating,two legged colostomy bags.

Now this might come off as a threat and I will probably get a visit, bring the big 2 billion dollar armed tour bus loaded with SS men. Let’s make this an even fight.

THIS WAS A HIT! It was organized by you know who.

They needed to clip the ambassador for some reason.

You want a reason.....

The Ambassador was up to his hocks in an illegal gun running program to arm the Radical Muslim Militias with weapons taken from Libya. It was virtually a warehouse of goodies they could then “distribute” under the guise of supporting (under the radar) the real idea of a Muslim Caliphate resurgence.

Since they knew that congress would never go along with funding this they needed to get rid of the leadership in Libya and free up any controls of the weapons, allowing Al Queida operatives to load up on them with the desired objective to enable the overall objective of taking down Israel and beyond.

The ambassador met with a rep from Turkey (pipeline for arming the Syrians) to make sure the flow was ok. There were 2 warehouses full of arms on premise that the local AQ “Franchise” wanted.

Stevens had to die as it had become apparent to him that he was dead meat as things were going and that he was merely a pawn in a much larger agenda. Loose lips sink ships and dead men tell no tales come to mind.

The idea of the Movie was to foist the “Islamic discontent” demonstration based on the movie fits into the narrative of the apology tour. in other words we made them unhappy and what else were they gonna do. You and I know that “demonstrations” always include RPGs, AK-47s and mortar fire as a core element.

So in closing Stevens and the others had to go, look also to the post on a gaming site (out of normal informational control channels) by one of the dead men, he knew they were setup. He just did not want to believe that his own country had sold him out in a treasonous action a million times larger than Watergate, the benchmark of Liberal think measuring Republican duplicity.
