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

Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper

Original Article

Posted By:Photoonist, 10/25/2012 7:51:04 PM

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

Comments:
This is 0bama as Commander-in-Chief revealed. How dishonorable this malignant narcissist is to the office. If it's not about him, it doesn't matter to 0bama. 0bama was probably thinking that he couldn't use this as a positive in his campaign unlike the SEALs nailing bin Laden, and that was all.

This goes to the heart of this matter, who made the decision in this administration to now save these people? I feel so bad for the families of those murdered because of the inaction of this administration, they did not have to die like this.

There was a decision made not to send in a rescue team because the last thing Obama needed was a Blackhawks Down situation this close to the election. I'm guessing Valerie Jarret made that call.

I believe it wasn't so much a decision as a mindset of those around Obama - they know all responsibility falls on whoever makes a decision to act. Obama never acts, takes full responsibility for successful acts and throws whoever attempts to do something positive in an unsuccessful manner under the freight train (bus got to small).

Surrounded by career _______ (you fill in the blank) whose only concern is to survive and flourish materially even if it means sacrificing honor, duty, country and innocent lives you end up with what we have - all branches of the federal government, all heads of federal agencies and all senior military personnel empowered by Obama demonstrating at each moment when integrity is required that they will not display it because their needs trump our country and their souls have been sold for worldly rewards.

If any of these public officials were present when Pilate condemned Jesus they would have held their tongues and sought scapegoats should their silence come back to damage their worldly aspirations. Such have we voted to lead and defend us - God have mercy on us.

As I watched the dignified transfer of these brave Americans, all I could think of was how difficult it must have been for the families. The experience is heart-wrenching in and of itself. The fact that it was politicized by this administration made it worse.

I'm still wondering why they were returned to Andrews Air Force Base instead of Dover Air Force Base like the rest of our troops killed in action.

My only conclusion was that it was more convenient for Obama and Clinton. I believe he was on his way to a fundraiser in NYC.

Each day more details are released, and this one is truly heartbreaking. Deciding not to do something is indeed making a decision. Essentially Obama, Panetta and Clinton put these Americans in harms way, put them into a war zone, and did not give them adequate protection. And as I understand it, even took away some of the protection they did have. Their pleas for help prior to the torture and massacre were ignored. Upon hearing of the terrorist attack and then witnessing it live via the drone, the Three Stooges made a conscious decision not to intervene and get our Americans out of this dangerous situation.

I don't believe in heaven or hell. I want them to get their punishment now. Insomuch as they chose to do nothing, Obama, Panetta and Clinton signed the death warrants of these brave Americans.

Those here who suspect Valerie Jarrett made the decision how to handle the situation are probably right for the most part. The more I learn about her and how she sticks to Obama like glue, the more I feel that she gives Obama his orders about everything.

That being said, I have a terrible feeling that she gets orders from someone else. That is the big mystery - is it Soros or someone about whom we've never heard or seen? I truly believe she is a malevolent creature and she and whomever gives her orders should be exposed for the crimes against America that they have perpetrated.

The obvious answer to the question asked by the
father of Tyrone Woods is Obama.
He is the alleged Commander in Chief.
I hope that the new Attorney General brings criminal charges
against those responsible in the Obama Administration
for aiding and abetting the terrorists in murdering Tyrone Woods,
Sean Smith ,
Glen Doherty and Christopher Stevens.
I hope the families bring civil charges.
Judge Woods described his encounter with Biden as his son's casket
returned home and it is jaw dropping.
Even for Biden, who must be insane , have Alzheimer's or was drunk.

“He said ‘I’m Joe Biden’. He said he had received one of these ‘damn phone calls’
when he had lost a family member.
And then about a half hour later he approached me and said – and these are the exact words
he said I don’t speak like this – quote and in an extremely loud and boisterous voice he said:
‘Did your sons always have b***s the size of cueballs?’”

In addition to the grotesque nature of the inappropriate remarks near the flag draped
casket of his dead son,
Biden said " sons " !! ????
What a terrible nightmare for these families in addition to their loss.

It has become perfectly clear again with this feckless regime, just as it did during the Carter and Clintoon regimes, that any excess fecal matter in the Pentagon floats to the top and becomes Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The current example's name is Dempsey. It takes a true wimp to allow Valarie Jarret to give you all your orders. Putin sleeps very well these days and rightfully so.

The stories we are hearing from the slain men's families have made me cry and made me angrier than ever. They died needlessly because Obama was too busy collecting money from his big donors and schmoozing with his elitist friends to take the 3am call. Obama has exhibited the ultimate in disrespect and contempt for everything truly American in my opinion.

The empty chair MUST GO or more of our valuable and precious service men and women will die needlessly and more Americans will suffer.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

Women made up 51 percent of the electorate, compared to 49 percent among women. Thirty-nine percent of voters so far identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 30 percent calling themselves Republican. Thirty-one percent identified as independent or something else, and Romney has a big edge among this group - 56 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Obama.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia.

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
