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 your 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.”
“It just didn’t feel right,” he says of his encounter with the commander in chief. “And now that it’s coming out that apparently the White House situation room was watching our people die in real time, as this was happening,” Woods says, he wants answers on what happened—and why there was no apparent effort to save his son’s life.
“Well, this is what Hillary did,” Woods continues. “She came over and, you know, did the same thing—separately came over and talked with me. I gave her a hug, shook her hand. And she did not appear to be one bit sincere—at all. And you know, she mentioned that the thing about, we’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video. That was the first time I had even heard about anything like that.”
Woods continues: “Apparently even the State Department had a live stream and was aware of their calls for help. My son wasn’t even there. He was at a safe house about a mile away. He got the distress call; he heard them crying for help; that’s why he and Glen risked their lives to go that extra mile just to take care of the situation. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only one received that distress call—you know, come save our lives … I’m sure that other people in the military, in the State Department, in the White House, received that same call that he would receive. And I’m sure that most military people would jump at the chance … to protect that life [and] not leave anyone behind.”
Woods made clear that he isn't "mad," but that he wants to the "truth" to be told because he feels " abandoned."
Woods says he was told by military officials that the military could have "come above [the area] and completely carpeted area," and therefore saved the officials in Benghazi, Libya. But that someone gave the command for the American military not to save the lives of the Americans under attack.
"When I heard, you know, that there's a very good chance that the White House as well as other members of the military knew what was going on and obviously someone had to say, don't go rescue them. Because every person in the military--their first response [would be], we're going to go rescue them. We need to find out who it was that gave that command--do not rescue them." Source. Does anyone else find it sad that the father of dead soldier was lied to about what happened and why? Wait am i reading this right? Woods says he was told by military officials that the military could have "come above [the area] and completely carpeted area," and therefore saved the officials in Benghazi, Libya. But that someone gave the command for the American military not to save the lives of the Americans under attack. They wanted to "Carpet" the area? with what. Helicopter fire? Carpet bombing? If thats really what is being discussed there i can only say that the right call was made. Werent there dozens/hundreds of people outside? Causing a massive bloodbath isnt the answer. I have no problem killing hundreds of terrorists that storm our embassy. Statements like this could cause a slight set-back to stabilizing a region already in turmoil, no? Most likely international sanctions and/or condemnation. But I guess that also falls into the "I don't give a rat's ass category"... I usually appreciate the more realistic view of Conservatives, this is not one of those times. You are crazy if you if think that my opinion that military/special forces assets should have been deployed to the Benghazi embassy to stop the attack is a minority opinion. If there was the ability to deploy Special Force then yes i agree that would be an appropriate response. But there more like a surgical scalpel then the sledgehammer of bombs. Ps. your reasoning that its ok to carpet bomb a mob to save an American life is why a lot of the middle east is so eager to hate your nation. Then so be it. Rational foreign policy has no time for this kind of nonsense. Terrorists should be killed. Period. well, if you kill them in ways that makes more of them you are an idiot
Those people are so prone to being batshit crazy and hostile towards us that it doesn't matter. I'd rather put the fear of Allah in them to discourage them from taking up arms against us in the first place.

Plus, even if it were a "protest," I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place if those people didn't exist. If you think what I said is politically incorrect, please remember that liberals are always attacking Christians and saying the world would be a better place if they didn't exist. I do believe the world would be a better place without religion but i dont go walking around advocating we commit genocide on em.
Yeah, I just rephrased that.

Why don't we just nuke the middle east? Why don't we just drop bombs on the terrorists? I thought you were all hip on the foreign policy, come on man, your smart enough to know that their were a large number of civilians in the area, this idea that we should have just bombed our way out of this situation is ridiculous. There are situations where bombs are effective, they are not in crowded urban areas where there is a high number of innocents, and we have some of our own in the vicinity. I can figure this out without having any military experience, so come on.. I have friends and family that have served and they don't use air support like that lightly.
Where is the proof that there were any innocents there? And if there were, we could have given them a warning and a chance to leave, then only eliminated and/or incapacitated those who refused.

There were no protestors there, that's just Obama's cover-up. Even if they were simply "protestors," they were clearly out of control and out of line, thus becoming terrorists. My god the balls on this guy. No second thoughts, no blinking and no regrets. You are not doing Conservatives any favor, especially in the long run that is.
Are you saying people who violate America's national sovereignty, destroy a consulate, and murder four American government officials are not terrorists? Once they step foot illegally on the grounds of the consulate (American territory) and refuse to surrender, they become terrorists; let alone when they start murdering people.

Withdrawal and attempting to avoid escalating shit and destabilising the new regime in Libya was a wise choice imo. It wasn't a calculated decision to let Americans die to avoid killing terrorists, it was an attempt to come to a solution in which American goodwill wasn't completely wiped out. Letting the consulate get trashed isn't a huge deal, Libya has oil wealth, if American companies can do business there then just the tax they pay to the treasury on that income will cover repairing it a thousand times over. But killing a few hundred Libyans, even Libyan terrorists, is reckless and will have foreign and economic policy implications, even terrorists have friends and family and you're not aiming to convert them, you're aiming to keep their sympathisers happy enough that they don't also take up arms.
If they were backed into a corner I do not believe Obama would make a calculated decision to let them die but they attempted to withdraw to a safehouse, the option taken was one to diffuse the situation without anyone dying. There was nothing wrong with the decision itself imo, it's just sometimes shit happens. If Libya became a massive clusterfuck after an American massacre of Libyans and we were looking back at the incident and asking ourselves "why didn't they just retreat to the safehouse for a few nights rather than massacre a bunch of Libyans?" then Obama would have a much worse defence. Prudence is not a vice.

I can figure this out without having any military experience, so come on.. I have friends and family that have served and they don't use air support like that lightly. Where is the proof that there were any innocents there? And if there were, we could have given them a warning and a chance to leave, then only eliminated and/or incapacitated those who refused.
As i said id be all for an intervention by something like Special forces. If you wave a gun in someones face and tell em to walk away and they come at you. fine. shoot em. but there is a GIANT difference between that and bombing/strafing a crowd.

Try Arkansas. Now let me address the rest of your liberal cliches.
Why don't we just nuke the middle east?
No need, and that would be counterproductive.
Why don't we just drop bombs on the terrorists?
Ask Obama why didn't do it. He's rather hesitant to tell us.

Go read up on our military capability. We didn't have to carpet bomb all of Benghazi. We very easily could have laid down discrete, precise fire on the consulate with any number of weapons systems ranging from AC130 gunships to fixed-wing aircraft to attack helicopters. We also could have deployed special operations forces right in the consulate. We have special teams posted all over the world to deal with precisely this type of situation, and for whatever reason, the administration made the decision to hold these forces back.

Does anyone else find it sad that the father of dead soldier was lied to about what happened and why? For some reason, I don't trust the memory of a father of a casualty. Something tells me he might not be objective. Also, the man is essentially asking who, specifically, he can or should blame for his son's death. Are you surprised no one answered? You know, there used to be a time -- I don't know -- 8 years ago, when Americans would blame TERRORISTS for the murder of Americans as a result of TERRORIST ATTACKS. Now they're blaming other Americans. But hey, if the man is looking for someone to blame -- other than the people that actually killed his son -- Obama already stated very clearly in the debates -- blame him. He's the boss. Hillary Clinton told the father that they were "going to arrest the author of the movie," which they did end up doing. Obama is still acting as if the author of the YouTube video was to blame, and even if he were "to blame," Obama is acting as though murdering four Americans and destroying an embassy is a "reasonable" reaction to such a video.
What? He explicitly said he was going to hunt down the people that attacked the embassy, BEFORE it even became clear that it was terrorist attack. The degree to which it was "planned" (versus opportunistic by a terrorist group) is still unclear.
There's a lot of blame to go around in a what started as a complex situation. There where protests exploding across the Middle East as a result of the video, and a terrorist group used it as an opportunity to attack an consulate.
Now, its pretty much common knowledge that the video and the attack are two separate issues. But literally, the two or three days after, it was easy to conflate the two.
But now you're -- what? -- trying to accuse the president of blaming the attacks on the video, and your proof is that the author of the video is going to jail?
The author didn't actually go to jail for making a 'mean' video, he went to jail for violating the conditions of his for parole by using a fals identity.
The video and terrorist attack is completely separate issues now. And are being treated as such. And not once in the past month have I heard Obama say it's okay to kill Americans because of Youtube. In fact, he gave a speech at the UN that was explicitly about how NOT okay that was, that conservatives are turning into a 'gotcha' moment.

As much as 20/20 hindsight is the ultimate tool of foreign policy, a reality in which conflicting information exists is much more complicated.

Fair enough, at the time there was conflicting information. That doesn't mean we should have let them murder American citizens though.

I believe that is a sentiment all Americans share. It's a shame, but what's important is what we do from here on out and to make sure incidents like these do not happen again.

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 your 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.”
“It just didn’t feel right,” he says of his encounter with the commander in chief. “And now that it’s coming out that apparently the White House situation room was watching our people die in real time, as this was happening,” Woods says, he wants answers on what happened—and why there was no apparent effort to save his son’s life.
“Well, this is what Hillary did,” Woods continues. “She came over and, you know, did the same thing—separately came over and talked with me. I gave her a hug, shook her hand. And she did not appear to be one bit sincere—at all. And you know, she mentioned that the thing about, we’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video. That was the first time I had even heard about anything like that.”
Woods continues: “Apparently even the State Department had a live stream and was aware of their calls for help. My son wasn’t even there. He was at a safe house about a mile away. He got the distress call; he heard them crying for help; that’s why he and Glen risked their lives to go that extra mile just to take care of the situation. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only one received that distress call—you know, come save our lives … I’m sure that other people in the military, in the State Department, in the White House, received that same call that he would receive. And I’m sure that most military people would jump at the chance … to protect that life [and] not leave anyone behind.”
Woods made clear that he isn't "mad," but that he wants to the "truth" to be told because he feels " abandoned."
Woods says he was told by military officials that the military could have "come above [the area] and completely carpeted area," and therefore saved the officials in Benghazi, Libya. But that someone gave the command for the American military not to save the lives of the Americans under attack.
"When I heard, you know, that there's a very good chance that the White House as well as other members of the military knew what was going on and obviously someone had to say, don't go rescue them. Because every person in the military--their first response [would be], we're going to go rescue them. We need to find out who it was that gave that command--do not rescue them." Source.

There were no protestors there, that's just Obama's cover-up. Even if they were simply "protestors," they were clearly out of control and out of line, thus becoming terrorists. My god the balls on this guy. No second thoughts, no blinking and no regrets. You are not doing Conservatives any favor, especially in the long run that is.
Some people have no fucking clue how mob mentality works. Usually there are a small about of actual criminals, while the rest of the mob is just onlookers an looky-loos.
Honestly, carpet-bombing a crowd of random people -- some criminal, some not -- is the most unpatriotic, un-American suggestion I've ever heard. That's the kind of iron-fist military action you expect to see from Iran, or Syria, or Communist China, or North Korea.

The whole belief that you can scare terrorists by force of arms is so patently ridiculous and disproven that i seriously wonder why people can still spout such bs...
