“13 Hours” is how long Hillary and 0bama did nothing while people were under repeated assault.
The movie is pretty good. The title is absolutely damning.
Plan to see it, but I’ll wait a while.
Read the book. It was great! Real heroes!
The book alone should have hurt Hillary’s campaign.
Saw Liz Trotta doing a commentary about “13 Hours” on Fox - she really nailed Hillary & Co to the wall - she was visibly angry.
Saw it with my wife yesterday... very intense.
The film made it clear the NCA had no intention of sending military assets to help break up the attacks.
We the people will never be made privy, but I can’t help wondering if Hillary’s unsecured server allowed the bad guys to learn where the Ambassador and the staff would be that night.
It just made me despise this abhorrent administration even more.
Problem is, Americans don't read much anymore, unless it's all encapsulated in a three-sentence lead paragraph.
Excellent, gripping movie. It provided a more concrete illustration of what occurred there. It is also heart breaking.
To be to not to be. They choose to exist and until I saw this movie I had no idea of what lengths of action they did in order to do so.
Good! Am amazed at how conservative Liz Trotta has become of late. Just wish Fox had her on more often.
Infuriating. Obama and Hilary should hang. Seriously.
I thought it was a good movie. I hesitate to say I enjoyed it or liked it as seeing a dramatization of what those guys endured, enjoyment is an inappropriate term, just like no one enjoys Schindler’s List unless you are unbalanced.
The complaints that it was not in depth enough and that it did not delve into politics is off base in that the movie is simply about what these guys endured. When you are fighting, it is not about yesterday or politics, it is about the here and now and, or then and there, so in that sense, I thought that was good. The movie is exhausting, if you follow it closely.
At about the halfway point, when they started requesting help and none came, and when you see our country’s defenders dying, I started hearing Clinton’s voice, the echo became louder as the film progressed; “At this point, Senator, what does it matter.” What an arrogant, evil, bitch.
I was so incensed, that at the end of the movie I repeated the Clinton quote loudly in the theater and said “Think of these men before you vote.” Having that at the end of the movie would have made it perfect.
I saw it. It was like watching an action movie except it was real. I kept reminding myself of that fact. Extremely brave men, and the CIA guy who kept saying “stand down” actually got an award. Something is wrong with this, it’s upside down.
I’ve read the book and may wait for pay-for-view.
Last Saturday I saw the movie.
I talked to my liberal friend and teacher who taught 11th grade English to the ambassador himself, Chris Stevens. While watching the movie, she was struck by the thought that his life could have been saved, as the movie clearly showed there were forces at the ready that were told to “stand down.”
The theater was packed, and most of the audience were young people in their 20s and 30s. Every time I looked around, people were riveted in their seats.
There was not a sound from within the audience to be heard for the entire movie, and I had the same thoughts as one journalist who wrote,
“as the screen illuminated in flashes from massive explosions the breath-taking heroism of the former Marines and Navy Seals defending the U.S. Benghazi assets. Their names are Tanto (Kris Paronto), Oz (Mark Geist), Tig (John Tiegen), Rone (Tyrone Woods) and Glen Doherty.
“The film illuminates with night vision goggle precision the treachery of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama who did nothing to save them. Never are the secretary of state Hillary Clinton or the commander in chief (Obama) even mentioned, which in itself screams volumes. Just as they were absent from duty the night of the attacks, they are AWOL in the movie itself.”
“We now know that Hillary Clinton spent a little time in the Situation Room that night, presumably watching the live feed from the drone that captured the life-and-death siege of first the ambassador’s residence and a few hours later, the second attack on the CIA annex a mile or so away. We know that the president wasn’t there, likely busy picking out the suit he would wear for his campaign fund-raiser in Nevada next day.”
“It confirms that Benghazi was not a spontaneous demonstration gone bad due a video, despite Susan Rice repeating that lie on five Sunday talk shows, and President Obama repeating it six times before the United Nations (two weeks later, mind you). Hillary Clinton knew it was a lie, telling the truth to daughter Chelsea and an Egyptian diplomat before she lied to the parents of the Benghazi dead. It confirms that rescuers were told to stand down.”
Back to my thoughts...
I highly recommend this movie. It tells of the history (and politics) we live in now, and if you are interested in politics or history, not seeing this movie is in itself, for you, not seeing history.
Someone said that at the end of the movie where I was too.
Excellent movie. You’ll be on the edge of your seat - partly because you know how tragically it’s going to turn out and partly because the battle and attack scenes are so incredibly well done.
The Dems say it’s “political” but it’s not. It only mentions what they knew on the ground (and the survivors described in testimony), with one brief moment when a soldier says “they (the media and/or State Dept) are talking about some kind of video and protests, but there haven’t been any protests.”
And of course the fact that the military two hours away is ready to go and rescue the guys - but is never given permission to carry out the mission.
Methinks the Dems have a guilty conscience. I’d say Hillary has a guilty conscience, but I don’t think she has any conscience at all.
I am having a birthday this week and a few friends asked me this morning, what would you like to do for your birthday? I said I want to go see 13 Hours! A few think I’m nuts, and asked why I would want to see something so depressing for my birthday? I stated it’s important we all see and understand the truth — and so for now, our plan is to go on Sunday! I expect a few will decide not to go, but not me... I’m going!
She cackled, rolled over and went back to sleep.
