“Dr Morsi sent us”
Was Hellry or Obamatollah mentioned in the movie?
I just got back from seeing it as well. Great movie. Some guy yelled out “Hillary for prison” at the end and the entire theatre applauded. It’s sickening to see this fraud as our president and this liar with a legitimate shot as their nominee. The movie should be mandatory viewing for all Americans.
I saw the movie tonight. I was speechless att the end. As we’re most of the audience.
How anyone can either vote for Hillary or stay home and not vote at all after knowing what she was responsible for is sickening.
The movie did not AT ALL target talk-radio fans, Benghazi specialists, and people who hate Obama/Hillary.
The underlying subject matter is INTENSELY political, but it seems they went out of their way to remain neutral and try to also bring in libs and young people for a sandy, shoot-em-up film.
We can only hope that they, too, will ponder the questions we pour over here at FR —maybe a few of them will.
Aside from the brief shots of F-16’s standing unused at Ariana, or the exasperated sighs of combatants pondering the (low) possibility of air-support they really did not slam The Political Establishment.
It’s like there’s a silent Hollywood requirement to “hold your fire” if there’s a good possibility a Lib will be hit, particularly in a run-up to an election.
I still enjoyed the film, as it showed the unselfish bravery of them men in the face of long odds.
It didn’t do well opening night.
I’m seeing it tomorrow. Opening weekend is THE weekend for determining success of a movie. Don’t want libs to win one.
I love how they barely mention anything political - they just show how absolutely everything Obama/Hillary/SusanRice/the NYTimes/MSNBC and all the networks put forth were absolute lies. Not confusion from the fog of war, or honest mistakes, but a coordinated intentional and soulless attempt to hide the truth for political advantage.
Pure evil.
If you haven't seen it yet, try to see it tomorrow. A big opening weekend will turn the movie into a newsworthy political story that will dog the Hillary campaign.
“Had the CIA Station Chief (NOT) held them off an extra 30 minutes Stephens may have lived to tell the tale.”
I’m still waiting to hear what happened to the 27 surviving witnesses that were hidden from the media. I find it curious that no one in the media is interested in learning who they are and what they were doing there.
My wife and son and I also just got back from watching “13 Hours”.
When the woman in the movie tripped coming down the stairs someone in the theater audience yelled out, “Watch your step”.
We really liked the movie. Our son who did not really know
much about it beforehand knows about it now. We filled him
in on the behind the scenes stuff that was not so obvious in the movie.
Benghazi’s Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give “Cross-Border Authority”
(I wrote this a couple weeks after Benghazi)
https://pjmedia.com/blog/benghazis-smoking-gun-only-president-can-give-%e2%80%98cross-border-authority%e2%80%99/
The Benghazi debacle boils down to a single key factor — the granting or withholding of “cross-border authority.” This opinion is informed by my experience as a Navy SEAL officer who took a NavSpecWar Detachment to Beirut.
Once the alarm is sent — in this case, from the consulate in Benghazi — dozens of HQs are notified and are in the planning loop in real time, including AFRICOM and EUCOM, both located in Germany. Without waiting for specific orders from Washington, they begin planning and executing rescue operations, including moving personnel, ships, and aircraft forward toward the location of the crisis. However, there is one thing they can’t do without explicit orders from the president: cross an international border on a hostile mission.
That is the clear “red line” in this type of a crisis situation.
No administration wants to stumble into a war because a jet jockey in hot pursuit (or a mixed-up SEAL squad in a rubber boat) strays into hostile territory. Because of this, only the president can give the order for our military to cross a nation’s border without that nation’s permission. For the Osama bin Laden mission, President Obama granted CBA for our forces to enter Pakistani airspace.
On the other side of the CBA coin: in order to prevent a military rescue in Benghazi, all the POTUS has to do is not grant cross-border authority. If he does not, the entire rescue mission (already in progress) must stop in its tracks.
Ships can loiter on station, but airplanes fall out of the sky, so they must be redirected to an air base (Sigonella, in Sicily) to await the POTUS decision on granting CBA. If the decision to grant CBA never comes, the besieged diplomatic outpost in Benghazi can rely only on assets already “in country†in Libya — such as the Tripoli quick reaction force and the Predator drones. These assets can be put into action on the independent authority of the acting ambassador or CIA station chief in Tripoli. They are already “in country,” so CBA rules do not apply to them.
How might this process have played out in the White House?

I was prepared to be very critical of the storyline when I went to see it but the only fault I could find was with the initial setup description that said that the US and France had bombed Libyan forces under the dictator Ghadiffi to support the introduction of a democratic government. No mention was made that this was a Clinton/Obama arms for the Arab Spring adventure unsanctioned by Congress. It was good at showing how the general populace was highly armed due to Clinton/Obamas lack of planning that should have included Special Ops forces on the ground at the time of the bombings or slightly before to be sure all of these arms were denied to the terrorist entities including the SAMs that are now the biggest threat not being talked about. but boots on the ground is unthinkable to liberal minds.
Just back from watching as well,
a Modern Day Alamo!
I just viewed it myself this evening. One thing it showed clearly was that nobody in DC lifted a finger to send help. DC did give the command to “Stand Down”, and at least one firing, of General Hamm happened because he insisted on sending help and was relieved of command over it.
Come on, President Trump!

Predator Drones must have some Great Video.
The movie SUCKED! Acting and dialog was horrible!
I went to be supportive but jeez it stunk.
All the good guys crying and the Libyans have to rescue them? Blech!
It was a great movie. Democrats don’t give a damn about our people in harms way. Democrats so hate America and love themselves they could not care less about those that protect them.
On the night of Sept. 11, in what would become his last known public meeting, Stevens met with the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and escorted him out of the consulate front gate one hour before the assault began at approximately 9:35 p.m. local time.
The difficulty telling the good guys from the bad is part of that accurate portrayal you mentioned at the top.
