Were there any implications about Hillary and/or Obama acting irresponsibly?

[Cobra64]

Was it clear who gave the “stand down” order?

I saw this tonight. Some interesting things that my husband and I noticed...not one word about Hillary or Barack; no politics; and Barack’s picture wasn’t posted in the diplomatic complex. The story, (I would think you would have to be aware of what actually happened) is hard to follow except that there is a lot of shoot um up action. Our theater had the background music so loud that most of the time you couldn’t understand what was being said. Action types will love it. The real life fighters are real heroes.

The movie did not touch on the identity of the party ultimately responsible for the stand down order.

You only hear the chubby and bureaucratic CIA station chief admonishing Stand Down about six or so times, grimacing, hissing or yelling.

Where HE got that order is not treated by the movie.

I haven’t seen it but I think anyone who does go would be well aware of who is responsible.I.E., they won’t be hillary or Hussein fans to begin with.

I saw it tonight also , after work , after an 8 hr shift

I left the movie furious ....just furious

and the persons responsible are still denying all culpability
and have never been held accountable

This is sickening to an extreme

AMERICA ! WAKE THE F UP !

the CIA station chief

Petraeus needs to tell the God damned truth about that

[Red in Blue PA]

The CIA station chief looks like a fool in this movie.

Yet at the end, when lines were going across telling what happened with each since the event, he got a medal. Absolutely pathetic.

Good movie. I think it's missing something to make it as successful as American Sniper. Which may be a strong main character. They don't really come out and say what the 13 hours is though you're expected to know it and can get it. And given they were using time before the fighting stated...a running timer when the fighting started would have added clarity. Also, not enough development of the main character. I wondered at times who the main character was even though they did have a central figure.

Wish Republicans weren't such idiots so the Dems could have been brought to justice. That's heartbreaking among other things.
