I understand that.  How hard would it have been for oboso to use his magic phone to give authorization to africom so they could send in SF?

Or better yet why didn't state allow the SF that had been in country prior to Stevens visit to stay an extra month or so?

I place blame solely on the gov and because of them 4 good men died in that shit hole.

Obama failed to use his phone that day.

He failed to authorize the jets to do a fly over or Africom to send SF both could have been in the area in hours.


What really needed to happen was an immediate evacuation to a hardened base once Stevens was attacked. They had prior warning of attack, they knew what day it was, they knew the environment, was the proper response, let's wait and see if it gets really bad? Let our $28 militia guard empty offices. It was a rental. Stevens was dead regardless. Special Forces arriving hours later (they made it a point to show the bureaucracy at the airport) was never going to change that. If there was no hardened base to fall back to, that was the failure of many, many people.


I hate the term, but it was what it was:  neither facility was adequately protected and they had no hardened facility to go to.

Working with the hand they were dealt, if (and this is based on the book) the guys had left immediately, before things got bad, they might have been able to prevent the attackers from gaining the initiative.

It goes back to my previous Catch 22 statement:  react quickly and forcefully and you may prevent the bad guys from gaining the initiative, but you will be branded a cowboy.  Wait until the situation in known and/or you're given clearance to go, your fault for being too late.

Remember, they were protecting mostly (not ALL/100%) civilians with no military experience; per the book, the protectees were often oblivious to the danger they were in.

We agree.

When in doubt, send everything/one you can...they can always be recalled and there presence just might you the SA to make a more informed decision.

IMO, like so many other times, wasn't on top of things, didn't know what assets were available, what those assets could or could not do, doctrine nor plans in place for the employment of said assets.

Once things had gotten out of hand, they didn't want to admit that there was a problem...committing any/additional assets would be admitting that they had screwed up.

Just my $0.02.

Just got back. Good movie. Everyone's talking about John Krasinski but I thought James Badge Dale was awesome. That dude should be starring in much bigger movies.

Also, it's a little surprising to see Michael Bay make a movie that's not just about two explosions falling in love.

The movie was okay..

I honestly felt that bay did a disservice to the men that died and to the American people by not clearly filling in a lot of the plot holes or explaining exactly who left these guys behind and the people that were consciously aware of it taking place

There was an opportunity here and it was not seized

If he would've done that more than half of the American people wouldn't have watched it. However this movie is a part of history now, and history looks back and the winners and losers. Who do you think will be blamed for his when history looks back at it?

Almost sold out for every show here. If people are too dumb to connect the dots the movie did not connect, then they are a lost cause anyway.

I saw the movie yesterday.  I really enjoyed it and will likely pay to go see it again. As another person said, while there isn't much "political" focus, it isn't hard to connect the dots. I also loved some of the small hits like the two guys talking about how it was sparked by a youtube video. Yes, you will leave pissed but hopefully it inspires everyone to take some initiative to make everyone else wake up. I had to laugh,some lady at the end of the movie openly voiced her disgust by shouting "and Hillary wants to run for president". At any rate highly recommend the movie!

Wife and i went to see this movie yesterday. Great movie and highly recommended. About half the audience clapped at the end. Sadly I don't think the typical American movie viewer will put two and two together and understand the Whitehouse and Clinton was responsible.

I saw it last night.

The entire audience gave a standing ovation at the end of the film, clapping.

Michael Bay gets a pass for the rest of his life,  he did an incredible job here and it makes you feel great to be an American.

The cast was equally as impressive. Great job all around.

Your experience differs greatly from mine.  I saw it last night (Saturday) at 7:30 and the place was PACKED, even more so than for Star Wars which I also saw on it's opening Saturday.  I thought the movie was great.

How did the cast and Michael Bay react to the clapping?    I never understood why people clap in a movie since applause is meant to be received by the performers.  Yeah, I actually know why, but I'm that guy.

Agency and 'Bob' challenging movie's version of events:



https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/former-cia-chief-in-benghazi-challenges-film-version-of-2012-attack/2016/01/15/9cf2defc-baf7-11e5-b682-4bb4dd403c7d_story.html



"According to the officer in charge of the CIA’s Benghazi base that night, the scene in the movie is entirely untrue.



"There never was a stand-down order,” said the base chief known as Bob, speaking publicly for the first time. "At no time did I ever second-guess that the team would depart.”



The question of whether someone had issued a "stand down” has loomed over Benghazi since the immediate aftermath of the attacks. The initial speculation centered mainly on whether an official in Washington, including then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had impeded rescue attempts — an allegation rejected by a series of congressional inquiries. A 2014 House Intelligence Committee report found "no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support.”



The book and film, by contrast, blame Bob for blocking the departure of security operators until it was too late. The author of the book, Mitchell Zuckoff, said in a telephone interview that he stands by the depiction and that it is based on first-hand accounts.



According to the book and the movie, the security contractors assembled their weapons and jumped into vehicles to begin a rescue mission. Bob, they said, ordered them to wait.



Bob acknowledged that he was "concerned about an ambush” and that a departure by the security team would have "left our base more vulnerable to attack.” But, he said, "there was never any question that there was going to be a rescue mission,” and no instruction by him to hold off.



Instead, Bob said he spent much of the immediate period after the attack began, about 20 minutes, standing beside the leader of the GRS team — who still works at the CIA — scrambling to enlist local security teams."

Sure sounds like he held them while he tried to put something together with the locals.  So there was never a "stand down," and of course "we are surly going to rescue, just hold on for a second" (or half and hour) until I get more info.

Didn't even notice the Salient guns. What did annoy me is 40 armed terrorists advancing on the compound at midnight and the US operators defending the compound had to wait to see a weapon pointed in their direction before they could open fire. Like there was any question why 40 armed men would be advancing on the compound at midnight.

Watched it last night and it was a very good movie, just left me more angry.


The crowd was 100% white and mostly 20 to 40 year olds with a few ex mil guys mixed in with a 3/4 full theater. Most people seemed to like it and everyone was very quiet afterwards. I hope it spurs those young people to question a few things they have seen and heard.

I get it.. the book is probably great. Most Americans have a hard time being literate.. Just wish they would have dropped a bit more ques.  

This thing should be generating some political buzz and intrigue from the low informed

I like the dude who played Rone and Oz.

Also this wasn't going to be the anti FHRC or FBHO like some of us wanted it to be.

I wanted them to hold the exec branch accountable for their lack of action when action could have been done.

Saw it last night. Early 6:30pm show. Probably 85% full theater. See if I can get my brother to go and I'll see it again.

You will walk out sad then PISSED.   F@$K politicians and their mealy mouth weak ass, career focused, power and politics .   Yeah they wanted to fundamentally change America.   Not on my watch.  Those that want to be in power and put party politics first, they don't belong on these shores.  


Problem is...I'm pissed going into the theater.

My hair will probably be on fire when I leave.




I read the book while on a cruise.   Definitely, was not a relaxing book to read on a cruise.  

If I thought that the genetic passengers could be properly motivated by my speech and the ship had the range to make it to Benghazi the mutiny and following results would have been epic.   However, the killing of Libyans
would have had be stopped for and hour at 1400 everyday (bingo) and ended by 1700 (early dinner).

Not a book or a movie (which if it follows the book) you want to come out happy from.


Which book is it? I get three or four that show up when I search it.

Seriously?    The African American community spends a higher percentage of income on entertainment than Caucasians.   They compose a high percentage of the focus of advertising per capita.    Why would they not be all over this movie?

I really liked the film.  It could have used a little more explanation of the political decisions.  Not quite as good as BHD, but close.  

It was a 9:35 p.m. showing and it was full.  Mixed young and older crowd with only one or two BTDT looking types.

Make sure not to support any pro-American movies so Hollywood will make less of them!

The terms Michael Bay and good movie should not be used together. Ever.  Glad you liked it OP. But fuck Michael Bay, you couldn't pay me to watch anything that hack had his hands on.

I just cant get over the tall skinny guy from the office being an elite operator..

  John Krasinski fucking nailed the part.


There are plenty of "elite operators" who look and act nothing like the stereotype.

Saw it Saturday.  It sucked!  They didn't show Clinton going to prison at the end.
