not much to say Good movie, not a waste of money However, i guess it was anti-climactic, if our government had changed things since then, it would have meant more, but knowing they are still covering up for the lack of support, which the movie CLEARLY COVERS the repeated calls for it... It is worth the price. Go see it.

Masked ISIS terrorists have beheaded two men they accused of being sorcerers in front of a baying crowd in Libya. In its latest barbaric video, the accused - both blindfolded, bound and wearing orange jumpsuits - are led in the centre of a crowd to be executed in Tripoli.

Three days after the attacks on the consulate in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans, the US embassy in Tripoli urged Hillary Clinton and other State Department officials not to blame it on the YouTube video, “Innocence of Muslims.” In fact, the thus-far anonymous official warned that the video hadn’t actually created that much of an issue in Libya — and that putting an international spotlight on it would make the situation in the failed state exponentially worse. Yet two days later, Susan Rice went on five Sunday talk shows to push that meme, and Hillary and the...

As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continued to blame the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi on a controversial YouTube video, a State Department official at Embassy Tripoli in Libya wrote an email to D.C. colleges that urged them to be “cautious” in their messaging just a few days after the attack. According to the email from the official in Libya on Sept. 14, 2012, “it is becoming increasingly clear that the series of events in Benghazi was much more terrorist attack than a protest which escalated into violence.” The email was released Friday in the first dump...

Subject: Why the Marine Hymn Contain Shores of Tripoli"... Interesting bit of history. This may be one of the more informative history lessons you ever read.

American leaders denounced the burning of a Christian leader's library in Tripoli, Lebanon, last Friday night as based on false pretenses and said it's a threat to religious liberty.

The victory, which secures Islamist control over Tripoli, was a culmination of weeks of fighting triggered by elections in July which Islamist parties lost. Rather than accept the result, Islamist leaders accused the new parliament of being dominated by supporters of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi, and have sought to restore the old national congress. “The general national congress will hold an emergency meeting in Tripoli to save the country,” said congress spokesman Omar Ahmidan. Libya’s official parliament, the House of Representatives, in the eastern city of Tobruk, denounced the attack as illegal, branding Dawn a “terrorist organisation” and announcing a...

In case you thought it was just your imagination, it’s not:In the Age of Obama, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer; no matter how hard Big Guy works for the American people:Meanwhile, the U.S. embassy in Libya was abandoned on Saturday due, I guess, to all that “tranquility” that we’ve generated in the Middle East; it must be irritating the local Islamic terrorists.
