What she needs is a SENTENCE.

Movie Review: 13 Hours, A Great Movie and an Enormous, Enormous Problem for Hillary 13 Hours is, doubtless, the best film of Michael Bay's career. It's also an objectively good movie.
Let me get to the politics first. The film is not blatantly political. Do not doubt, however, that it does not have an overt political meaning. It's overt -- just not in-your-face.
The film is filled with the heroes wondering "When is someone coming to help us?"
There are shots of planes lying dormant while Americans are being shot to pieces.
There is an exchange where one soldier (actually, ex-soldiers working for the CIA called G.S.R.'s) says to the other, "I just saw on the news, they're saying this is because of a protest."
The other says: "I didn't see any protest."
And neither does the filmgoer-- there is no protest. There is simply a coordinated attack which starts out of nowhere. It's obvious what this is from the start; there is no "fog of war," at least not about what started this.
Drew pointed out in the podcast a couple of episodes again that there is a bias in the media about what stories they illustrate with pictures and video, and which stories they merely report dryly with words.

Hillary did not answer the phone and people died. What difference does it make????
Is this going to hit the political scales like “The China Syndrome” did?
The MSM will try to kill it. Depends on how much independent information is generated.

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die
Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999.
The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. "If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli?" Nordstrom wrote.
I’m shocked such a movie can be made in this day and age.......what with all the ppl covering for Hillary and Obama.
Believe it and it will happen.
Trump will generate love and hate as he seeks to destroy any who oppose him.
This statement has a meaning opposite to what the writer would seem to intend.

We went to see this movie yesterday to support it. It’s important that it does well this weekend, but the theater was not crowded. It’s a great movie-—very well done & you see what those men went through at Benghazi. Anyone who never heard of Benghazi & walked into this movie will wonder why our government didn’t send help.
“Trump will generate love and hate as he seeks to destroy any who oppose him.”
It’s called an “election”. When more than one person runs for said office, they are called the “opposition”, I.e. The “oppose” each other.
To “destroy” opposition’s chances of winning is part of the strategy to come out on top.
Most people are bitter when their favorite candidate is singled out and critisized, especially if it’s irrefutable.
Retire: destroying the oppositions chances of winning is called campaigning, it’s what one does when running a tight race for elected office.
***and which stories they merely report dryly with words.***
Reminds me of the olden days of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
