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.”

Whoever orchestrated the “real” operation, i.e., the kidnap-gone-bad of Ambassador Stevens.

He would need to look outside the U.S. government, no doubt, to find out who was pulling the strings.

Where is Cindy Sheehan? We still have a war going on and there are still soldiers in Iraq. So why isn’t she camped out across the street from the White House?

Democrat presidents, generally something less than men:

He had just presented posthumous Congressional Medals of Honour, America's highest military decoration, to the widows of two soldiers for valour in Somalia. After inviting the families for a moment of quiet reflection in the Oval Office, the president approached Herbert Shughart, the father of one of the two soldiers, and offered his hand.

To his astonishment the handshake was declined. '' You are not fit to be president of the United States ,'' said Shughart Senior. '' The blame for my son's death rests with the White House and with you. You are not fit to command.''

The president reeled and the unprecedented onslaught continued for some minutes. According to witnesses it was a ''highly charged emotional moment'' which resulted in Clinton trying to explain to Shughart,Sr. why the events of that day last October were not his fault.

After a brief, awkward silence, Clinton caught his breath. Becoming angry, he turned to the mother of the dead soldier and said, "What's he jumping on me for? I didn't kill the kid! "

I cannot express just how disgusting the Obama administration is and continues to be.

I am not even sure another Reagan can pull us back from the precipice this guy has placed this country near. I will vote for Romney and hope for the best but he sure doesn’t seem to be the right man at the right time.

You never know for sure tho.

A very relevant question.

They don't want to talk about a POTUS who watched four Americans be murdered.

Here is how it works.

CHILLING! May God bless this poor man and his family as they grieve the loss of their son, a true American hero.

Will any of this ever see the light of day in the media——even Fox? Nope. Too busy talking about the election and what a beautiful couple Barak and Moochelle are. Gag me

I would say this sparks a flash of anger in me, but this is not surprising enough to spark a flash of anger.

This just adds to the low, constant drone of utter loathing I have for this cockroach of a man.

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!

Judge Pirro wasn't having any of the BS O'Bloviator was serving...

Well, if Dear Leader didn't and doesn't have standing orders to be located when such an incident occurs, we're worse off than I thought.... and that's pretty awful!

This is what America gets as a CIC when the one they elect is not an American, and worse, a Muslim.

I would NEVER serve under such an incompetent foreigner.

Your summary makes so much sense--and it makes me so sick to my stomach.

Yours is the only scenario that would make the need for a cover-up of what really happened so necessary that the no-one in the administration will admit to the truth.

From the get-go, it made no sense that Obama was not told about the raid on the Consulate, unless there was something that was given a higher priority--and that is a good night's sleep.

If what you surmise is what really went down--may it be 0's last good night sleep for a long time, not just because he knows he could have done something to save 4 men, but because his failure to act cost him the presidency!

OMG!!!!!! He said this?????????

Is Biden some IRL (In Real Life) Internet Troll, or something????

I have tears welling up in my eyes with rage right now.

I can’t believe he said that.

What a mess we’re in. POTUS is either a flat out traitor/mole, or the most naive and incompetent POTUS dreamed in a nightmare.

He approved “The 16th of February Martyr’s Brigade” for exterior consular security, instead of US Marines!
