The release of two new trailers for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, director Michael Bayâs action-heavy portrayal of events (already labeled âBayghaziâ 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 couldnât. The recently released trailer has shown that no matter how scarce the names âHillary Clintonâ and âBarack Obamaâ are in the film, their involvement in whatâs 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.

She and Obama delayed. . and then went to bed. . during a national crisis. . . How did they know other embassies weren't going to get hit that night? Seems to me an all nighter in the situation room was in order. . or am I missing something? . . Oh I forgot, Obama had to get his beauty rest for a fundraiser in Las Vegas the next day. . he flew to Las Vegas during what could have been an international embassy attack blitzkrieg. . No one really knew what might be coming. . What an incompetent disgrace. . both of them.
Black Hawk Down, the movie, makes no mention of Les Aspen
Black Hawk Down, reality, was most definitely the result of bad politics
I hope that clarifies my post
Indeed, I wasn’t fully tuned in to the discussion.
Greece, Turkey, and Italy are all members of NATO--it is just a few hundred miles from Crete to Benghazi, but the official line was that there were no planes close enough to get there in time to help.

Yes, multiple people have testified they could have had a jet there for at least a fly by in no time and troops, AC-130 and helos in a fairly short period of time. You have to assume it would have made a difference. .
