The 'Original Intent' of Benghazi

Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, one of the two former Navy SEALs who lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, is demanding answers as to why, if the White House Situation Room was watching Americans die in real time, did they decide to do nothing to stop it? The grieving father's question: "Who Made the Decision Not to Save My Son?"

According to Mr. Woods, "Apparently even the State Department had a live stream and was aware of their cries for help," Woods said, "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 [Doherty] risked their lives to go that extra mile just to take care of the situation."

In other words, two Navy SEALs were killed doing what they were trained to do. They ignored the command to stand down and chose instead to rush to the aid of those in distress and did so while the State Department and the White House stood by, watching the horror unfold in real time and choosing to do nothing to stop it.

Charles Woods claims that military officials told him that they could have saved those under attack. But Mr. Woods is convinced that someone higher up gave the order not to send backup. Now, the father of the former Navy SEAL is angry, saying, "We need to find out who it was that gave that command -- do not rescue them."

According to Fox News, "Security officers working for the CIA in Benghazi heard the attack on the consulate but were twice told to wait before rushing to the compound." In addition, "U.S. officials refused when the security team asked for U.S. warplanes to bomb their attackers, which would have meant violating Libyan airspace." Remember that old Obama adage: better to sodomize, torture, and murder an American Ambassador than dare to violate Libyan airspace.

Nonetheless, in the "fog of war" and in response to prior reports, a CIA spokesperson, under the direction of CIA director and retired General David Petraeus, put out the following statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."

The Obama administration has spent six full weeks blatantly lying, obfuscating, and blaming a low-budget anti-Islamic video for the attack on the U.S. consulate. Now, after dodging questions about whether requests for help were denied by U.S. officials, the Obama administration -- more specifically President Barack Obama -- is adamantly vowing that his administration will "find out what happened" and discipline those responsible.

Of course he has to say that. However, even if the president didn't personally instruct security personnel in Benghazi to "stand down," it's not at all difficult to imagine an unruffled Obama watching the attack in real time, yawning, executing a sleepy stretch, and saying, "It's getting late guys, I think I'll turn in."

Furthermore, it's pretty obvious that the sanctity of life isn't exactly a top priority for pro-choice Barack Obama, whose claim to fame is his belief that some human lives are disposable. Lest we forget, the president is an avid proponent of born-alive babies being left to die, or as he so aptly put it, "looked after" by the doctor that failed to kill them on the first try.

With that in mind, if a disposable human being were being purposely asphyxiated in a burning American consulate in Benghazi by a band of terrorists, perhaps Barack Obama felt that responding to desperate cries for assistance could "burden the original decision" of some other, more significant political goal. After all, the president did once say that a doctor attending to a suffering infant does "burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."

Therefore, along with Mr. Woods, one can't help but wonder if some "original decision" might have been undermined if military reinforcements were given the go-ahead to save the lives of the Benghazi four.

But not to worry, though -- while consistently evading questions about the tragedy prior to Election Day, Barack Obama is about the business of assuring the American public that "We're going to gather all the facts, find out exactly what happened, and make sure that it doesn't happen again, but we're also going to make sure we bring to justice those who carried out these attacks."

Wow! Coincidentally, that is exactly what a concerned American public is planning to do too, Mr. President. At all costs, the facts will be gathered as to what really happened that ill-fated night in Benghazi, as well as what actions occurred in the White House Situation Room during the seven-hour attack. And rest assured, Mr. President, those who carried out those attacks and anyone who aided and abetted the enemy in the senseless murder of four Americans will be found and brought to justice.
