13 Hours: The Non-Political Benghazi Movie that Hillary Can’t Avoid
National Review ^ | Nov 5, 2015 | Stephen Miller

Posted on 11/08/2015 11:53:07 AM PST by free_life

The release of two new trailers for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, director Michael Bay’s action-heavy portrayal of events (already labeled “Bayghazi” by the Internet), which hits theaters January 15. Its pop-culture treatment of events that night will have people talking and debating in a way that all the Fox News specials and C-SPAN hearings in the world couldn’t. The recently released trailer has shown that no matter how scarce the names “Hillary Clinton” and “Barack Obama” are in the film, their involvement in what’s depicted is unmistakable. The film is based on the Mitchell Zuckoff bestseller of the same name, which deals primarily with events on the ground that night, and the efforts of a small group of operators and security forces to extract their fellow Americans from the attacks.

We can expect 13 Hours to follow the big-Hollywood credo of not pointing fingers at the leaders in the party they agree with. It looks from the trailer to be aiming any blame for bad decision-making that night straight at the CIA operatives on the ground (“We’re not even supposed to be here” an agent growls and not at Hillary Clinton’s packing it in while the attack was still happening or at whatever Barack Obama’s orders were.

I KNOW....

This movie looks outstanding and God willing could bring down Hillary via enough questions of why we wouldn’t respond.

The book is also “non-political”. However, you get REALLY pissed because of the fact that Obonzo and Clinton betrayed those people and left them there to die.

Hillary admits she went home to bed and didn’t get updates all night, while her friend Chris was MIA and presumed in Al Queda hands.

I wonder where the film puts Obama? His whereabouts are still unknown. My own theory is that he hid in the family quarters, the door guarded, to be unable to grant or withhold Cross Border Authority for a rescue mission, something he alone can grant. No CBA, no rescue, the mission and the Americans are on their own. Written off.

Anyone read the book written by Mitchell Zuckoff with same name as movie? Does it get to the truth? Does it point to Clinton or Obama? Anything on who gave the stand down order?

I want to know about the events in the Oval Office that night! The whole damned National Security Team was there meeting with Øbama when the word came in, correct? They should have reconvened in the Situation Room, perhaps they did, but then Øbama declared he was going to bed and told the rest of them, Hillary included, to deal with it. Well, they did not. Why the hell is not that part of the despicable episode being explored???

Whether by action or inaction, Obama and Hillary had the power to change that night and they didn’t do it.

They’re both guilty.

What galls me is that Hillary is so shameless that she thinks she should be Commander in Chief. She is a mad woman.

The movie may try and point blame at some nameless person way down chain to give Hilliary and Obama an out, or it may show those at the top without naming names failed on this. And Obama and Clinton are at the top. I guess we have to wait till January to find out.

Not sure I understand your post.

Black Hawk Down...Was non political

Recommend you google - Les Aspin...Black Hawk Down.
That politician left our military in peril because he "didn't want to escalate matters".

Clinton, who was either informed or said he didn't want to hear about it, was protected by the press. Many of us remember his claim delivered delivered in an adolescent tone of voice that he, "...didn't know anything about that" (or words to that effect).

I think the twisted freak was too drunk to get to the situation room. Not enough coffee in the world to get a coherent comment from him.

If not for the heroism of Woods and Doherty, there could have been 60 dead Americans instead of 4. Could the media have treated the story as a minor news item in that case?

Perhaps by sacrificing their own lives, Woods and Doherty saved not only dozens of their fellow Americans, but the political careers of Obama and Hillary.
