For whatever reason, President Obama was not moved enough by the plight of besieged Americans to send in the cavalry.

That intervening might have blown the lid off of his Muslim Brotherhood-inspired "Arms to ISIS" plot was reason enough.

"But films portraying American courage and fortitude, especially "Lone Survivor" and "American Sniper," have been huge hits."


We .. of some years .. who post so patriotically here in FR grew up with and cut our teeth on John Wayne and the like

Japs were Japs and Krauts were Krauts and they all "killed Joe" and we were gonn'a kill THEM !


If we can inundate our kids with this brand of video ... we might have a chance.

Benghazi's Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give 'Cross-Border Authority'

This should have been easy for a Congressional Select Committee to establish.

I have been paying attention to this, but I don’t remember a name or what happened to the CIA officer who ordered the four who died not to go before they went.

And what about the 36 survivors?

I understand they have been threatened not to disclose details of the event. If HRC is not punished for disclosing classified information, why should they?

Everyone is missing the key point.

Why was there a CIA annex nearby? What were they doing there? Where did the weapons they were collecting go?

I cannot believe there wasn’t an inventory of equipment. Where is that, and where are they now?

I know people want to pin this all on Hillary. I never stand that. Che is a small part of this story.

My guess is the equipment left Libya and ended up in Syria, where it eventually ended up in the hands of ISIL.

Someone needs to as Hillary and Obama that question and not stop until it is answered.

Obama and Clinton were willing to sacrifice them too. A bunch of war mongering CIA operators got in the way of their plans. /s of course.

Thank God for the heroes who saved those 36 Americans

He was not "not moved" by the plight of the besieged Americans; he enjoyed the plight of the besieged Americans.

He wanted them to die.

He, and the barbarians who run his teleprompter want the rest of us either dead or in chains.

That to me is the under reported story.Who were the people that were saved? Why have they brave men who saved them never been acknowledged for their actions?Because the Dems want this off the front page and the press is happy to oblige.Disgusting.So a movie maker had to tell their story.Good for him.

Obviously this administration didn’t care about the lives of the Americans, but cared more about the feelings of their best buddies.

I hope you're right. My grandkids will see it and they'll hear my take on the disaster from their dad.

“My guess is the equipment left Libya and ended up in Syria, where it eventually ended up in the hands of ISIL.”

Well, there you go again.

Why would a Libyan-based Al Qaeda affiliate, engaged in the Libyan civil war, send munitions 1,000 miles away to their ISIS rivals in Syria? And how would those weapons get to Syria? Please check a map.

This was a Libyan civil war incident. Someone chose favorites and the local, out-of-favor Al Qaeda forces took exception. I believe it’s referred to as blow-back.

1. Where are the shoulder launched anti-air missiles that were staged in Libya?
2. Why were they there in the first place?
3. What happened to Qadaffi’s 143 tons of gold?
4. Is Hildabeast and the Clinton (crime) Foundation willing to submit to an audit?

They were not.

We were.

We paid them for the collection of the arms. What happened to them?
