Oh, this looks good.

I haven't looked at the cast list. Let's hope that the actual guys who were there, the guys who are portrayed in this movie that valiantly defended the embassy, did not allow the use of some anti-USA hollywood liberal useless dingleberries, such as Marky Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon or some other useless hollywood P.O.S., to portray themselves.

Hollywood only makes take down movies against republicans. No way this says anything that contradicts Hilary's lying narrative.

Zero made Bummer to be a hero even though the only reason the mission was not called off was because Jarrett/Bummer wasn't told about until it was too late. Jarrett had already cancelled three prior attempts.

The film's slug lines of "No support" and "The true story you were never told" are damning just by themselves, and that's how the film can ultimately harm Hillary Clinton; it doesn't even need to mention her name or Barack Obama's to simply remind casual observers of the indisputable facts: that four Americans were left to die, on the anniversary of 9/11/01, by a State Department and White House that seemingly couldn't be bothered in the middle of electioneering to deal with the crisis at hand. U.S. personnel on the ground were left to take matters into their own hands without U.S. military support. Why?

Once upon a time, the CIA had an office kind of dedicated to researching any media in which they are mentioned...TV, movies, newspapers, books. Basically to see if anything had anything to do with any leaks or inappropriate info.

^^^^^^THIS!!!^^^^^
But I still think, and I've always thought, that there is NOTHING, repeat NOTHING, that Hillary and Obama can do or not do that would prevent their base from offering their full support at any time. Clinton clearly used her position as Sec of State to fill the coffers of her foundation, Obama "palled around with terrorists", and the like. Hillary gets at least 47% of the vote just for being on the ballot. She will poll >90% in certain areas of the country. They cater to the low information voter crowd that could not be bothered with finding Benghazi (or Libya-or even the African Continent) on an unmarked map.

I keep reading reports of trouble in the FBI due to the damning evidence (email server) and lack of charges as of yet.
She will never face charges over Benghazi, unless it is proven that she herself ordered rescue back (they move without orders to rescue as SOP unless called back or ordered to stand down)

Just saw it a few hours ago and I thought it was very well done. That being said, it made me mad as hell and saddened me greatly! My wife had my hand at one point (when they were trying to get the ok to go to the outpost) and I think I nearly broke her hand without even realizing it. I think the whole line of jackasses from the outpost chief up to the pres need to be sat down and made to watch the movie and then taken and dropped off in the worst hell hole on earth and told YOYO (you're on your own)!

AT HOT AIR: Film Review: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. "Andrew Breitbart famously said 'politics is downstream of culture,' which is the succinct answer to the not infrequent questions authors like myself get about why we're taking up space on political news sites like Hot Air with posts about things like movies and video games. . . . Until this weekend, the story of the 2012 attack on our consulate in Benghazi has been almost exclusively in the hands of the Obama Administration (and the media, but I repeat myself), who have spun a yarn about faulty intelligence leading them to believe a Youtube video caused a spontaneous protest that turned violent and could not have been prevented or mitigated. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi now puts that story in the hands of Michael Bay. . . . Much to my surprise, Bay has instead delivered a poignant and harrowing view of the events of September 11, 2012 from the perspective of the people who were there in Benghazi as it unfolded."

That he did. I heard the 3 guys who wrote the book speak on a few radio shows. It sounded bad and it was obvious that the administration was CYA from the start but it was hard to really get an idea of what they did and what they faced. I think Bay did a great job of showing the other side of the story by bringing their experiences and story to the big screen.

13 Hours was a great book; read it last April. - Here is another great book that goes into more of the dirty details:

http://www.amazon.com/REAL-Benghazi.../B00LY3WZK0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453088355&sr=8-1&keywords=the+real+benghazi

I have yet to see the film but am excited to. I read this article today that was interesting; the CIA is denying the "stand-down" orders, and the soldiers are basically telling them to F off. https://variety.com/2016/biz/news/c...iz/news/cia-benghazi-13-hours-michael-bay-as-distortion-of-benghazi-1201681295/
