Imagine you are the parent or family member of one of the
Americans killed in the 9/11/2012 terrorist attack at our consulate in
Benghazi? If you only watch the network news programs, NBC, CBS, or ABC, you
probably have little idea of what I’m talking about. Let me fill you in.
Four Americans were attacked on 9/11/2012 by terrorists at
our consulate in Benghazi. First thing to understand is the consulate is
American soil. The Americans that are in that compound should be as safe as any
place in the US. But we now know that threats against our citizens were
increasing and their requests for additional security denied. The British
Embassy pulled out all of their citizens days prior due to the increased
threats of violence.
The terrorists showed up on 9/11 heavily armed to kill
Americans. Drones flying above the compound were monitoring and sending video
real time to authorities including the CIA, DOD, and the White House. The
Americans under threat were sending messages about the situation to dozens of
people as well as posting messages on social media. To no avail. Until a couple
of brave men decided to disobey orders to stand down and decided to go help the
Americans under attack. They were successful in saving approximately 16 Americans
and holding off the terrorists for 7 hours. But no help arrived even though the
situation was unfolding right in front of the people responsible for protecting
them including the President and Secretary of State. Ultimately the terrorists
succeeded in killing 4 Americans because their requests for help were denied by
the president’s administration.
One of the slain Americans is former Navy Seal Tyrone Woods.
His father Chris Woods has been out trying to get answers to why his son and
other heroes did not get back-up during the terrorist attack. As a parent I can
only imagine the pain and frustration he feels about his son’s death. But to
add insult to injury, the media, except for FOX are not asking any questions
about how this happened? So the father has made it his mission to get to the
bottom of this failure.
The father Chris Woods is up against a lot of media noise
like the recent storm, and a media that is protecting this president’s election
chances instead of investigating the Benghazi failure. They seem to have no
interest in getting to the truth about this huge failure of the Commander in
Chief to protect Americans abroad, and giving the order to send help to those
patriots. I have no doubt he will succeed eventually. The truth always finds
the light of day.
But in the meantime my heart aches for the families of these
heroes who were betrayed by this president and his administration. I am also
disappointed the military went along with this failure. In the end this father
and these families will get the answers, and the country will hold the people
responsible no matter what the election outcome is on November 6th.
It is devastating the level of corruption we have in the media. A media whose
responsibility it is to hold government accountable.
