Father Of Navy SEAL Killed In Libya: "A Pack Of Lies" From The Obama
Administration
WOODS: This news that he disobeyed his orders does not surprise me. My
son was an American hero. And he had the moral strength to do what was
right, even if that would professionally cost him his job, even if it
would potentially cost him his life. He was a hero who was willing to do
whatever was necessary, to respond to their cries for help. If, in fact,
those people from the White House were as courageous and had the moral
strength that my son, Ty, had, immediately, within minutes of when they
found there was the first attack, they would have sent, they would have
given permission, not denied permission for those C130s to have gone up
there {…] I don’t know much about weapons, but it’s coming out right now
that they actually had laser targets focused on the mortars that were
being sent to kill my son and they refused to pull the trigger, they
refused to send those C30s.
To me, I’m an attorney. This may not be the legal test of murder, but to
me, that is not only cowardice, but those people who made the decision
and who knew about this decision and lied about it — are murderers of my
son. That is a very strong statement for me to make, but for their
benefit, they need to clear their conscience. They need to stand up and
they need to change the direction of their lives. I want to say right
now, you know who you are. I totally forgive you, but I hope years from
now, you change the direction of your life.
KELLY: Charlie, do you feel like you are getting straight answers from
the administration on this?
WOODS: This is all a pack of lies. That is one thing as the father whose
son who was killed, I do not appreciate lies. I do not appreciate
cowardice, and I do not appreciate lies. I’m a loving person. I love my
son and I want to honor him, and I hope I’m not speaking too strongly,
but I am very glad the facts are coming out right now. The reason I am
even speaking up, our family had made the decision not to say anything,
but after the facts came out that in real-time, the White House, minutes
after the first bullet was fired, they watched my son, they denied his
pleas for help. My son violated his orders in order to protect the lives
of at least 30 people. He risked his life to be a hero. I wish that
leadership in the White House had that same level of moral courage and
heroism that my son displayed with his life.
